Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 308 Surprise Attack on Nanzheng
At sunset, two thousand Sirius guards crossed the deep stream smoothly with the help of a cable bridge.

After passing the gorge, the Sirius Guards did not stop for a moment, and under the guidance of the Orion, they went straight to Nanzheng, the prefecture of Hanzhong County. Hu Yan knew very well that the Han army in Hanzhong County could be assembled at any time, and the army of Han King Liu Bang could catch up at any time. When he arrived in Hanzhong County, he didn't have much time, so he had to rush to Nanzheng!

When Kankan was about to walk out of the mountain, the sentry sent out suddenly reported: Han army camp was found ahead!
When a large army is marching, it is natural to send sentries to stand in front, otherwise it is easy to be ambushed by the enemy. However, sometimes even if sentries are sent out, they will also be ambushed. The ambush was not because they didn't send sentries, but that the sentries simply didn't have time to check the cliffs on both sides of the canyon.

Hu Yan didn't dare to be careless, and immediately led a dozen of his own soldiers to inspect.

Under the dark night sky, hundreds of tents and hundreds of bonfires were scattered in a river valley next to the mountain. In the flickering light, groups of Han soldiers were eating, faintly able to Hearing the laughter, cursing and cursing of the Han soldiers, and even the clashing of weapons, it was probably a fight.

The black bear leaned forward and said fiercely, "General, what are you doing?"

"No." Hu Yan shook his head resolutely, "This river valley is too wide, it is very difficult to wipe out the Han army rashly, and it is too close to Nanzheng, as long as there is a Han army leaked to report, we will try to take advantage of it." It will be difficult to take down Nanzheng if people are not prepared, and if we can only attack head-on in the end, our success will not be considered great!"

Hei Lang said again: "Then, let's go around quietly?"

Hu Yan shook again, and said: "No, pass on the order, the whole army rests on the spot and eats!"

"Rest on the spot?" Hei Lang said in astonishment, "General, didn't you say that time is tight?"

"No matter how tight the time is, it won't be half the night." Hu Yan shook his head and said fiercely, "Besides, this general just came up with a good idea to surprise Nanzheng, and it fell on this group of Han troops! "

The Han army in the river valley ahead was the Shangyong soldiers who rushed to Nanzheng to assemble.

Twelve counties under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong County have a population of more than [-] and more than [-] soldiers. Liu Bang conscripted a third of the soldiers in the country, and Hanzhong County also conscripted more than [-] soldiers, but the remaining There are still more than [-] pawns. If Xi Juan, the prefect of Hanzhong, can summon the [-] pawns in time, it will definitely not be a problem to defend Hanzhong.

However, Xi Juan's own prestige is not high, and her control over Hanzhong soldiers is also very lax, so after the decree was issued, the reactions of the counties were very slow. More than 2000 soldiers from the county have gone, not because Xijuan is unwilling to send troops, but because Nanzheng has no soldiers to send at all.

Shangyong is seven or eight hundred miles away from Nanzheng. The more than 2000 Shangyong pawns came quite quickly. You must know that the pawns of Chenggu County, which is less than [-] miles away from Nanzheng, just arrived yesterday. Nanzheng, in fact, until now, there are only more than [-] soldiers from Hanzhong County assembled in Nanzheng.

In the middle of the night, the Shangyong county captain got up to check the night, and found that the two guards in charge of the night watch had fallen asleep, and there were two teams of patrolmen who had been temporarily arranged. Immediately, he flew into a rage, stepped forward and slapped the two sentries awake.

The two sentries woke up in pain, and cursed before they could check.

The Shangyong county lieutenant became more and more enraged, and when he was about to draw his sword to slash someone, an undetectable noise suddenly sounded from behind him, and he turned around abruptly, his eyes pierced into the endless darkness like torches, and in an instant, a An icy crisis has completely shrouded Shangyong County Lieutenant, this guy is also a veteran of many battles, he feels the danger!

"Enemy..." Shangyong County Lieutenant suddenly opened his mouth and shouted. However, before he had time to call out the word "enemy", a heavy spiked arrow as thick as a thumb had already shot from a distance of more than ten steps away. Poor Before the Shangyong county lieutenant had time to call out the word "attack" after that, he was shot through his throat by a wolf-fanged heavy arrow.

The two sentries who had just been woken up by the big ear brackets were shocked when they saw this, and ran away with a shout.

However, before the two of them ran two steps away, another two heavy arrows from the mace pierced through the vital points of the vests of the two guards. The two guards kept running and rushed forward. After dozens of steps away, he finally fell to the ground slumped, but after falling to the ground, there was no more movement.

In the next moment, teams of dark Sirius warriors have emerged from the darkness like ghosts. Under the dark night sky, all of them have drawn out their cold ring swords. In the next moment, the ghostly Sirius Rui Shi has already pounced on the sleeping Han soldiers in the camp like a tiger and a wolf, a grand killing feast... the banquet is about to begin!

In less than one meal, more than half of the more than 2000 mediocre soldiers were slaughtered, and the rest were also taken prisoner. Dozens of soldiers tried to sneak away when they saw that something was wrong, but they were all captured by the hunting team cruising outside. hunted.

A soldier with a deer head and mouse eyes who seemed to be afraid of death was brought in front of Huyan. Before Huyan could ask any questions, the soldier fell to his knees at Huyan's feet, crying bitterly: "General, please forgive me, little brother!" There is an 80-year-old mother on the person, and there is a baby in swaddle, and I can't die, I really can't die, ouch..."

"Don't cry!" Hu Yan put the horizontal knife on the neck of the soldier, and shouted, "If you cry again, I will kill you!"

The watchman fell silent for a moment, then instinctively shrank his neck, trying to stay away from the blade on his neck as much as possible.

Huyan asked in a grim voice: "Where are you from? Where are you going? What's the name of your officer?"

The soldiers responded repeatedly: "Hui Hui Hui Hui general, we are soldiers of Shangyong County. We are ordered by the county guard to go to Nanzheng to assemble. Our officer is Shangyong County Captain, called Zhao Potou."

Huyan picked up a head and asked, "But him?"

The watchman screamed in fright, and replied, "Yes, yes, that's him."

Hu Yan smiled slightly, put the token that was found from Zhao Potou's body into the soft armor, then winked at the Hei Lang standing beside him, the Hei Lang understood, pulled out the horizontal knife and walked up Come here, grab Geng Zuo's head first, and then gently wipe his neck, Geng Zuo's neck is split open like a goldfish's mouth.

Almost at the same time, more than 300 other Sirius Guards also suddenly killed them.

Hu Yan shouted again: "Clean the battlefield, whether it is real death or pretending to be dead, each person will have three more swords on his body. After half a stick of incense, the whole army will gather and send troops to Nanzheng!"

"Here!" Hundreds of Heavenly Wolf Guards responded loudly.

The Han army led by Bai Mo is fighting fiercely with the Chu army in Jiange, and the battle report is spread three times a day. However, Nanzheng City, which is the prefecture of Hanzhong, does not have the tense atmosphere it should have before the war. I didn't take it seriously, because it was too cold in the second half of the night, so I hid in the enemy building and slept late.

Just after midnight, dots of flames appeared in the wilderness of Nanzheng Dongguan Pass.

Under the dark night sky, such a large piece of fire is very eye-catching, but the guards on the top of the city have all gone to sleep, and no one warned the police. It was not until this sudden "Han army" appeared outside the city that there was finally a fire. The sentry who got up to urinate was spotted, and immediately he poked his head out of the battlement and asked, "Hello, which county are you from?"

In the light of the fire, the sentry could see clearly that the troops outside the city were indeed wearing Han army armor.

The sentry never thought at all that the army outside the city would be the Chu army. In his mind, there was only a golden bull road to go from Shuzhong to Hanzhong. With thousands of elite soldiers guarding the Jiange, the Chu army could hardly Can't you turn into a bird and fly into Hanzhong?Therefore, the army outside the city must be and can only be a pawn from a certain county that came to Nanzheng overnight to assemble.

"Shangyong, I am Shangyong county captain——Zhao Potou." Outside the city, a loud voice said, "Quickly open the city gate, let me and my brothers enter the city to rest."

"No." The sentry said decisively, "The county guard has an order not to open the door before dawn!"

"Fart!" The loud voice said angrily, "I and my brothers drove half of the night, thinking that I can go to the city to avoid the wind and get warm, but you don't let the mother go to the city, What do you mean? Let me and my brothers stay outside the city to drink the northwest wind? Believe it or not, I took my brothers into the city in a fit of anger?"

The sentry shrank his neck in fright. It seems that this Shangyong county lieutenant is not easy to mess with?

While hesitating, the dozen or so comrades who were sleeping late in the enemy building also woke up. After a small school boy wearing a leather helmet and leather armor asked why, he yelled outside the city: "Captain Zhao! , I'm really sorry, the sheriff did have a strict order that you can't let you enter the city before dawn, so I can only wrong you."

The "County Zhao" outside the city cursed again, and he was probably tired after scolding for a long time, and then he said: "Forget it, if you don't go to the city, you don't go to the city, but it's a cold day, the cold outside the city is so heavy, The brothers are really freezing, so you can bring some firewood and bedding out to drive the brothers away from the cold and keep them warm, right?"

"You wait." Xiaoxiao said, "I'll let someone send firewood to you now."

After finishing speaking, the little principal turned back and ordered a dozen guards behind him: "Go, get some large carts of dry firewood and send them to them."

A sentry reminded: "Captain, opening the city gate now violates the order of the county guard, and you will be punished by military law."

"It's a matter of fighting for power." The little principal waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "Otherwise, if these big-headed soldiers outside the city really make a scene, you and I won't want to sleep anymore. Besides, you don't want to talk about opening the city gate. If I don’t tell you, how will the sheriff know? Hurry up and come back as soon as you get the dry firewood, I still want to go back to sleep again.”

A dozen sentries reluctantly went to the dungeon to prepare firewood. They were afraid of opening the gate in the middle of the night to eat the military law of the county guard. They really never thought that if the gate was opened, would the army outside the city take the opportunity to seize the city?
More than half a quarter of an hour later, the suspended bridge was slowly lowered, and the closed city gate was slowly opened.

Huyan turned his head and grinned at Hei Lang and Hei Xiong, and then slowly pulled out the horizontal knife. In his long and narrow eyes, there was already a ferocious look like a wolf.
