I’m The King Chapter 1407: : The first battle of Hanqi Tianxia (Ninety-seven) closed

Zhang Gan was awakened from his sleep by the violent knock on the door. He was so busy yesterday that he didn’t sleep until late. Four more. As I get older, I do not drowsy much, and my mind is highly tense. I tossed and turned in bed for a long time before I managed to fall asleep, but I felt that just as I closed my eyes, there was a strong knock on the door.

It seemed that the person who knocked on the door was extremely anxious. Before Zhang Qian got up from the bed, there was a bang, and the person who came had already pushed open the door and barged in.

"General Zhang, the enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!"

This sentence made Zhang Gan jump out of bed: "The enemy attack, where did the enemy attack come from? Where did the enemy come from?"

"Han people, Han army, Yellow Dragon Banner." The reporter was also incoherent.

Zhang Qian only felt a buzzing in his head and it exploded, Han army, why is it the Han army? How could it be Han Chinese. "What nonsense are you talking about? How did the Han army appear here?"

"General Zhang, how could you be wrong? There are at least tens of thousands of troops in the dark army, and so many flags, how can you be wrong?"

Zhang Gan's face turned pale, he put on his clothes indiscriminately, and ran out.

Ascending to the top of the city of Wuguan, Zhang Qian's face became a little paler. It is indeed the Han army, and it is also the most elite young guards of the Han people. They are the guards of the Han King. Here, the meaning represented, made Zhang Gan's mind roar like thunder.

The Han Kingdom has launched a war against the Great Chu. The target of these Han troops is Wuguan, which is General Qu Wan's 200,000 troops.

Opposite. The banners were unfurled, the ranks were strict, and fast horses galloped back and forth between the phalanxes. As these fast horses came and went, the phalanxes began to move slowly, obviously making the final preparations before the attack.

"General Zhang. Shaoxi Mountain, look at Shaoxi Mountain!" Beside him, the voice of the lieutenant trembled, and the lieutenant Fan Kui had just rushed to the city wall in disheveled clothes.

Zhang Qian's heart sank a few more times, and only then did he remember that some time ago, due to the continuous rain, the garrison on Shaoxi Mountain was almost submerged in the water, which was really difficult. After asking himself for instructions. So the large troops were withdrawn to the city, leaving only a guard sentry, but who would have thought that the Han army would come over at this time.

On Shaoshi Mountain, the Huofeng Banner representing Chu State has long since disappeared, replaced by a Yellow Dragon Banner fluttering in the wind on the highest point of the mountain.

Shaoxi Mountain is also lost.

"What should I do, General Zhang?" Fan Kui's voice trembled.

Zhang Qian raised his head and narrowed his eyes. Looking at the fiery red clouds in the sky, it has been rainy for the past few days. The Han army came today, and the weather was clear. Seeing that it was a sunny day today, Zhang Qian suddenly hated the sun that was about to jump out of the mountain. If it rained heavily, it would cause some trouble for the attackers. But obviously, God is not prepared to give Chu Jun some convenience.

"General Fan, what are you afraid of? Wuguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With such a small attack surface, the army cannot be deployed at all. The opponent's one-time investment is limited, and judging by the opponent's lineup, it is only them who come The size of a division is around 10,000 people. Although our Wuguan is not fully staffed, there are still 5,000 people, so what if we lose Shaoxi Mountain? Could it be that they can still fly down from Shaoxi Mountain?"

The agitated mood at the beginning slowly calmed down, and Zhang Qian began to think about countermeasures. With the terrain of Wuguan, the defenders have a great advantage. Even if Shaoxi Mountain is lost, they will be attacked from the top of the mountain. , but that kind of attack does not have a great impact on the city defense. The enemy can invest at most one battalion of troops at a time, while he has sufficient troops to respond. He thinks it is not a problem to defend Wuguan.

Actually, what he thinks more about now is the significance of the war that Han launched against Chu at this pass. Is it just this road, the target is General Qu, or the general attack of Han has already begun? Previously, the courts agreed that the Han State would not attack Chu State before it destroyed the Qin State. On the enemy list of the Han State, the Qin State was naturally ranked first. Zhang Qian is now skeptical of this conclusion. Qin is currently in internal and external difficulties. It stands to reason that this is the best time for Han to destroy Qin, and a considerable part of Qin's power is now restrained by Qu Wan. Whichever way you look at it, it would be beneficial to fight against Qin right now, but why did Han target Chu?

He took a deep breath, thinking too much. Although he is a high-ranking general, he is not the kind who can enter the core. What he has to do now is to defend Wuguan and believe in Qu Da. After the general gets the news, he will immediately understand the meaning of this, and immediately withdraw his troops and return to Wuguan. It is a pity that in this way, the southern part of Qin State, which Chu State spent a lot of manpower and material resources on, will probably lose its hold.

Looking at Fan Kui who was shaking his rope beside him, Zhang Gan snorted. This Fan Kui is the nephew of the senior doctor Fan Zhuo. After commanding the army, he kicked out this incompetent guy. This person is a typical character who occupies the latrine and doesn't shit. He can't do anything. He is good at taking credit. , Naturally, Fan Zhuo's face was sold, here, after all, is not the front line, there will not be too much danger, and if the battle is won, the credit will not be less.

It's just that after thousands of calculations, Wuguan has become such a dangerous place.

It's really a waste of such a burly body.

"Vice General Fan, go down immediately and organize troops to deliver defense equipment to the city, mainly long-range attack weapons. There is still too much difference in the city, at least double it, we don't have much else in Wuguan , There are a lot of these things now. After finishing this task, go and supervise the preparation of meals later, and send them to the top of the city for the soldiers when the time comes!" Zhang Qian ordered.

"Understood, General Zhang, the last general will do it right away." Hearing that he could not stay on the city wall, Fan Kui turned his head like Meng Dahe, and walked away very fast.

What a waste snack.

The Wuguan garrison moved quickly. The 200,000 troops brought out by Qu Wan this time, but the result of Taiwei Qu Zhong's hard work in the past few years, is the essence of the entire Chu army. Wuguan guarded the rear, and the army in charge of logistics was far from comparable to the previous army. Amidst the sound of drums, groups of soldiers quickly took their positions. The attack surface is not spacious in front, and more trebuchets are also tightening the ropes in the rear. Of course, what they are throwing now is not stone bombs, but explosives.

Ignite the explosive package and throw it out with a trebuchet, which is much more powerful than a stone bomb. This was originally an invention of Tan Feng in Yingchuan County. Also learned how to use this technique. The original trebuchet is slightly modified to throw explosives.

Chu people's dynamite packs are mixed with broken porcelain fragments, and after the explosion, the damage cannot be underestimated. Clay pot grenades are now popularized in the army. This kind of thing is also extremely useful against the infantry attacking the city with ants. Now Chu State has no shortage of explosives. After Qu attacked Qin, the first target was the whole city. After controlling the whole city, he controlled the huge explosives workshop built there, and Mao Wei, who was in charge of all this, was the first to Then he was sent to Yingdu in a carriage by Qu Wan. Mao Wei was not well-known in the Han Dynasty, but now, he is an explosives expert in Qin and Chu. Of course, Qu Wan cannot let such a person go.

"Come on, come on, I will let you taste the defeat of Pengcheng again." As the soldiers took their positions, Zhang Gan's heart slowly settled down.

After the frontal Han army set up their formation, they were not in a hurry to attack. They seemed to be waiting for something. They were not in a hurry, and Zhang Gan was not in a hurry. For this wave of attack by the Han army, they had to find a way to recapture Shaoxi Mountain. With Shaoxi Mountain's assistance, Wuguan would be more stable as a rock.

At this moment, on Shaoxi Mountain, Long Bin is holding up a binoculars, and is also looking at the city defense layout above Wuguan. At the division level, all the lenses are polished by hand, and the rate of waste products remains high. The value is extremely amazing, but it is indeed a good thing. Through the telescope, the Wuguan guards who were originally as small as ants at the foot of the mountain seemed to be pulled in front of them. Usually ~IndoMTL.com~ can even see a few moles on his face clearly, Long Bin wondered if he should find a way to swallow these things for the teacher after this battle, there is such a It's a lot of convenience to measure the enemy's situation when fighting a war.

Looking at it for a while, he handed the binoculars to the artillery battalion commander beside him, "Look carefully, the first wave of attack is to blow up all their trebuchets, otherwise they will throw the explosives out , will cause great damage to our siege army."

The Artillery Battalion Commander looked at it carefully for a while, then grinned: "Don't worry, Commander Long, these Chu people have no sense of concealment. These trebuchets are just placed there, and they are huge. They are simply targets now. Let's see what I will do." He was blown to pieces."

"Get ready to attack. The attack will start from us. The commander spent a lot of effort to drag your dozens of cannons up the mountain, but I have placed a lot of hope." Long Bin said with a smile . "Let me lend you the binoculars first. Aim at a little bit and try to get everyone's names. The teacher said that in this battle, it is not a big deal to capture Wuguan. The most important thing is to defend Wuguan. Because if you go too far, Qu Wan will definitely look like a Crazy people come to attack us. At that time, your cannons will still be of great use, save some ammunition, the roads in Qin State are too sloppy, and it will be too much effort to transport a truckload of shells."

"Don't worry, you!" The artillery battalion commander said with a smile. (To be continued.)
