Destiny Only Han

Chapter 263 Guanying, King's Wings!
Jibei County, at the eastern foot of Taishan, Ying County (now Laiwu, Jinan, Shandong).

On the plain basin surrounded by mountains, two distinct armies are confronting each other.

One of the troops was a bit messy, and it was the coalition army formed by Qi Shouxiang Tian Guang and the new Qi Wang Tian Heng.

Tian Guang, who fled to Chengyang, knew that he was no match for the Han army after learning the news of Tian Guang's death in battle, so he quickly led the remnant soldiers northward and joined forces with Tian Heng.

The other army mainly composed of cavalry was the Langzhong cavalry led by Guan Ying, and the Yanzhao cavalry under his command.

He came chasing Tian Guang all the way, but what made him a little dumbfounded was that the four-legged cavalry troops on his side failed to catch up with the two-legged Tian Guang...

Well, the troops led by Tian Guang are all local Qi people. They know many trails that are not marked on the map, so they can naturally run fast by taking shortcuts.

But at this moment, Tian Heng didn't have the slightest joy of being united, his face was full of sadness.

Around the Qi and Han armies, there were many dead bodies lying in disorder.

Almost all of these people are soldiers of the Qi army.

At the beginning of the battle, Tian Heng planned to use Guan Ying's lack of understanding of the terrain to try to ambush him.

But what I didn't expect was that after the battle, Lang Zhong's cavalry rushed to kill, like a tiger in a herd of sheep, unstoppable.

Touching fish and touching great white sharks, the Qi army suffered a lot of casualties.

Now, although the two sides have opened up their formations, they are confronting each other with a stone's throw away.

But whether it is Tian Heng or Tian Guang, they all understand one point in their hearts.

That is, they will lose!

Tian Heng's heart was full of treachery towards the Han army, and hatred for the incompetence of the general who exhausted the three armies to death.

In the battle of Lixia, Lixia City Kaesong surrendered, and the chariot general Hua Wushang who led the army back was wiped out.

And it was Guan Ying who was leading the army and confronting Tian Heng at the moment who wiped out Hua Wushang's troops.

In that battle, Guan Ying's victory was that Hua Wu, the captive chariot and cavalry general, injured 46 generals!
Before Qi and Chu negotiated peace, before Han Xin's main force crossed the river, in order to prevent possible surprise attacks by the Han army, Hua Wushang led almost all the cavalry troops of Qi.

So at this moment, the Qi army, which lacked cavalry to cooperate in the battle, had to defeat the Langzhong cavalry in front of them if they wanted to win.

However, this is impossible.

But Guan Ying didn't launch an attack immediately, he was waiting until the morale of the Qi army fell to the lowest point, and then wiped out the enemy in front of him.

Since the Han army crossed the river and attacked Qi, they have been invincible all the way, and they are as powerful as a broken bamboo. Whether it is the newly joined Yanzhao cavalry or the Langzhong cavalry who have been fighting for a long time, they are all full of confidence and murderous.

When fighting, there is actually a kind of aura.

When one side's momentum overwhelms the other side, basically no effort is required to win the final victory.

What Guan Ying was waiting for was this very metaphysical moment.

Speaking of Guan Ying, he can actually be called a natural general.

In his earliest days, he was a peddler, that is, a cloth peddler. Because of the small bourgeoisie in the city, he knew a little about riding and shooting.

In the Battle of Gangli, he followed Liu Bang to charge and repelled a part of Wang Li's army, and was awarded the title of Seventh Doctor. From then on, Guan Ying began to emerge.

Attacking the Qin army at Bonan, Qifeng, and Quyu, and fighting against them, they were bestowed with nobles and silks, named Xuanlingjun;

In just over a year, from a Zhongjuan next to Liu Bang, he became the highest rank in Chu Jue, which is comparable to Zhou Bo, Cao Can and other generals native to Pei County.

When he arrived in Hanzhong, Guan Ying's position became a middle-ranking official, and his food and salary were not high, but he had the qualifications to participate in military affairs.

In the subsequent battles of resetting the Three Qin Dynasty and attacking Wei Baoxiang Yu, he made many military exploits, especially in the battle of Jingsuo in the south of Xingyang City, he led the Langzhong cavalry to attack the Chu army's phalanx on the flanks, breaking it!

King's Wings, worthy of the name!
After this battle, the myth that the Chu army was invincible was shattered.

That is, after this, Liu Bang chose to conduct strategic defense on the main battlefield, and asked Han Xin to open up a secondary battlefield for strategic offense.

Now, Guan Ying, once again on his own, has keenly grasped the timidity of the opposing Qi army.

The long sword was raised upwards, pointing obliquely forward.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

The shrill horn sounded, and the sound of hooves was like a dull drum. Tens of thousands of cavalry began to charge in groups.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The loud shouts of killing caused the Qi army on the opposite side to turn around and run away as if awakened from a big dream.

This is people's habit of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, as well as giant phobia.

On the plain, when a group of militiamen hastily recruited faced a group of behemoths weighing more than a thousand catties and rushed towards them at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, the only option they didn't want to die was to run.

Although Tian Heng tried to regain morale by beheading the deserters, it became futile in the end because the army was defeated like a mountain.

The soldiers of the Qi army who fled with their backs crowded and fled backwards, only hated that the robes in front blocked the way, and their parents didn't give them a pair of wings.

As a result, the Langzhong cavalry rushed over like tigers entering a flock of sheep, hacking and killing wantonly.

People borrowed horsepower, and the ring-shoudao in their hands was only lightly cut, and the Qi army beside them was almost cut into two pieces; the long halberd in their hands was just thrusting forward, and the opponent could be pierced, and the halberd shaft was released easily. , drew out the long knife at his waist, and continued to charge forward.

Although the Langzhong cavalry is an elite in the army, they are light cavalry with no stirrups and saddles, and armor on horses and horses. Although they can charge into battle, they will be damaged.

So in front of this almost one-sided massacre, as long as the Qi army continues to panic, so that they dare not arouse the courage to fight back, they can almost wipe out the army on the way of pursuit.

Although the killing at this time is a bit miserable, but otherwise, it is not enough to stabilize the land.

Most of the Qi army in front of me are tenant farmers of the Tian family of Qi State, or other powerful families related to the Tian family. After more than a hundred years of rule, these soldiers have considered themselves members of Tian Qi since their ancestors.

Therefore, if they are not destroyed, or if they are not afraid of them, there will be a lot of resistance out of thin air when they clean up the Qi Guotian clan.

After Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, all the royal families withered.

But from the beginning of Tian Dan's restoration of the country, there are a large number of Tian surnames such as Tian Rong, Tian Heng, Tian Guang, Tian Guang, Tian Ji, Tian Xi, etc. in Qi State. Compared with other surnames Zhao, Han, Wei, The surnames Ji, Xiong, and Qi Guotian can be called unique.

Therefore, in the north of Jimo City at this moment, Liu Ying, who witnessed Han Xin's army besieging Tianji, did not feel any mercy in her heart.

For a traveler who upholds the concept of great unification, local separatists, die to me!
Liu Ying stood at the top of the city, leaning on the battlements and looking down, the Han army with black flags and black armors densely filled every corner of his sight.

A phalanx of heavy infantry armed with super-long guns, accompanied by the sound of drums of various timbres in the army, stepped forward in unison, continuing to compress the formation of the Qi army.

Under the encirclement of the phalanx, the Qi army led by Tian Ji could basically declare that the entire army was wiped out.

On the top of the city, the Yeyitian clan who was specially 'invited' to watch this battle, while feeling full of sorrow for the death of a rabbit, also had a deep understanding of the powerful combat effectiveness of the Han army.

Tian Rong was killed, and when most of Qi was captured by Xiang Yu, the Yeyi Tian clan, under Tian Heng's call, sent troops and horses to fight the Chu army to the death.

At that time, Liu Ying, the Yeyi Tian family with changing expressions, also defended Panyang City together with Tian Heng.

So when they were escorted by the soldiers of the Han army to Jimo City, they were actually full of confidence in Tian Ji, who was guarding the city.

Jimo City, the last fortress of Qi State in the past, will surely break the myth of the invincibility of the Han army and reproduce the scene of Tian Dan's recovery.

The state of Qi will not be destroyed, and the Tian family will not be destroyed!
Unfortunately, times have changed.

Jimo City, with its solid archery towers, was dealing with the siege methods of the Warring States Period, but now the Han army equipped with gravity catapults has raised the siege methods to the level of at least 1000 years later.

The creaking roller kept turning, and stone bullets larger than a human head smashed towards Jimo City in the distance like meteors.

What alarmed the Yeyi Tian family who were guarding the city and watching the battle was that every stone bullet almost seemed to have eyes!
Either it hit the city wall, killing and wounding a group of soldiers defending the city, or it hit the defensive buildings such as the archery tower on the top of the city, so that the archers hiding inside could be buried in the damaged buildings.

Under the siege, the defenders in the city had no choice but to flee from the city after suffering huge casualties.

But Han Xin, who wanted to complete his work in one battle, naturally would not let the Qi army leave.

He immediately started a two-threaded synchronous operation. On the one hand, he let the army take over Jimo City, and on the other hand, he commanded the cloud car to move forward, leading the army to encircle and escape the Qi army.

The jurisdiction of Jiaodong County is roughly the Jiaodong Peninsula of later generations.

But in the Qin and Han Dynasties, people still preferred to live in the inland areas, so the population was mainly concentrated in Jimo City, the government, and Yeyi, which had a large number of salt fields, and Gaomi, which was full of fertile land.

The Han army captured Linzi, drove straight in, took advantage of the situation and captured Yeyi, and then fought in Weishui, defeated Tian Guanglong and his allied forces, and conquered Gaomi.

Jimo is the only place left in the essence of Jiaodong County.

Now, Jimo City has also been captured by the Han army. After the Tian Ji army in front of them is wiped out, the entire Jiaodong Peninsula will be completely under the control of the Han State.

When Guan Ying defeated Tian Heng and Cao Shen conquered Jibei County, Qi State would cease to exist, and it was time to implement Han Xin's plan to advance westward and attack Xiang Yu with Liu Bang.

But before that, Liu Ying has another thing to do.

At the moment the Han army was in the base camp of Gaomi, Kuai Che stretched his waist, walked out of the tent, and prepared to eat lunch.

These days, with Liu Ying's return to the army, the meals of these senior generals and civil servants have undergone earth-shaking changes.

So, I went late, I'm afraid I can only drink pot water...

But suddenly, he felt black in front of his eyes, as if he was caught in a sack...

"Forgive, forgive..."
