Chapter 33 The Tankan People in the Iron Primitive Dwellings


The death squads of the Han army were filing through the muddy tunnel under Fan City.

The leader of the army at the front had already arrived in the dry well and threw out his flying claws to let a soldier climb up.

As soon as the soldier showed his head, a halberd struck him in the head.

He fell down the well without a sound.

"You're so damn stupid, you can't even climb into such a short well."

Before the Junhou could finish his scolding, he felt something was wrong.

A torrent pours down from above It turns out that the Chu army diverted Han water from the ditch and poured it into the dry well.

Nearly a thousand Han soldiers who had already entered the tunnel had no time to exit, and all of them drowned in the water in a matter of seconds.

In fact, the Chu army had soldiers who were responsible for listening to underground movements.

The method was to place a large pottery vat upside down on the ground and listen, and any abnormal movements underground could be detected.

So when the Han army dug the tunnel, the Chu army already knew about it.

The guard of Fancheng remained calm, waiting for him to successfully excavate and prepare for a sneak attack, and then gave him a decisive blow.

Liu Jia learned that the sneak attack had failed and had to give up the attack.

The rain began to fall again, and Liu Jia's mood was as gloomy as the sky.

He could only place his hope on the two hundred siege vehicles.

It was also raining outside Guangling City.

Liu Bang and others were sitting in the tent doing nothing, but they were extremely anxious inside.

It has been almost a month since the siege of Guangling, but there has been no movement on the other side of the river.

"We don't have to worry, Guangling, Xiang Yu must be saved."

Zhang Liang encouraged everyone.

"It's just that I don't know how much food is stored in Guangling City, and I don't know when Xiang Yu will cross the river.

If he stays with us for a long time, we really can't afford it."

Zhou Bo said worriedly.

Liu Bang also said: "Yes, I am worried about Xiao He's side, and the civilian power in the rear has been exhausted.

We have hundreds of thousands of troops stationed here, and a large number of troops have also been accumulated at various checkpoints from Guanzhong to Hanzhong.

There are almost no greens in the fields.

Strong.

Aocang is about to bottom out.

We can't bear the consumption for a long time.

Zhang Liang was speechless for a moment, but Han Xin opened his mouth and said: "If the other party can really hold on for a long time, then we can harass Jiangdong like Peng Yue did when he invaded Chu.

Anyway, Guangling has been trapped, and we have so many troops.

Absolutely It will not cause any hidden danger to my rear.

This will force Xiang Yu to fight me, and secondly, it will also replenish our own supplies."

After a pause, he continued: "I just don't know what the situation is like on the Xiangyang battlefield, and whether a large number of Chu troops have been mobilized.

Otherwise, my plan cannot be implemented."

"Liu Jia wrote a few days ago saying that Fancheng can be captured in just a few days.

He said that the Han army in Fancheng and Xiangyang has a large number of troops, so it will be difficult to defeat.

Presumably Xiang Yu has dispatched a large number of troops there even if he did not mobilize the main force here."

Liu Bang replied.

In the dark, more than fifty small boats sailed back to Wujiang Pier, and thousands of Han troops jumped off the ships.

They crossed the river to test the Chu army's defenses.

After crossing the river, they penetrated hundreds of miles into the Chu army's hinterland, circled around and then turned back.

He successfully returned to the northwest bank of the river.

It seems that the Chu army in Jiangdong is not strictly guarded, perhaps because of insufficient strength.

These Han soldiers did not know that their every move after crossing the river was in the eyes of others.

The residential buildings in Jinling City have been upgraded to the basic level of the Iron Age, and there is an additional option: Danmin.

These Danmin live on the water all year round.

We eat and sleep on the boat, and we also have dogs on the boat, so we make the boat our home.

The boat is a small boat that can only hold five or six people.

It can be used in any water area such as rivers, lakes, ditches and tributaries in plain areas.

Xiang Yu spent 4,000 points to generate 2,000 people and distributed them in every corner of the river basin.

Coupled with the vigilance system composed of fishermen and garrisons from various counties and counties, a strict monitoring network is formed on the Jiangnan water network.

Han Xinxin's calculation was that although the Chu army had a powerful navy, the river was so long that it was impossible to defend it everywhere and at all times.

In the past, they did not dare to cross the river with large troops because they were afraid that the Guangling Chu army would take advantage of its empty troops to sweep away their rear, but this problem no longer exists.

It was another night of high wind and dark moon.

Cao Shen led 20,000 troops to sneak across the river in batches from 20 miles downstream of Shouchun.

The boats they boarded were newly built boats in the Huaihe River.

Cao Shen was ordered by Liu Bang to launch a large-scale raid on the hinterland of Jiangdong.

If the Huben Camp next to Jinling City could be mobilized, the Han army would also launch a surprise attack on Jinling City.

This job was originally given to Peng Yue, but Peng Yue refused because he was ill.

When the last batch of Han troops crossed the river and the ships returned, dozens of centipede ships quietly sailed down the river.

"Bang bang", a stone bullet whizzed in and hit the beam of the ship's building.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and a wood chip fell into the eyes of a Han sailor next to him.

He covered his eyes with blood on his face and kept wailing.

More stone bullets hit, and a hole appeared in the chest of a sailor.

The other Han sailors on the deck did not dare to stay and hid below the deck.

There was a loud banging sound on the side of the ship and the upper deck of the ship, and pieces of wood were flying everywhere.

Accompanied by continuous violent collisions, most of the Han army ships were hit by the centipede ship's collision angle and began to tilt and sink.

On the shore, Cao Shen, who was leading the team, suddenly found a large group of people in front of him.

Then suddenly the lights were bright and the other party lit a torch.

Rows of bright spears appeared before his eyes.

Under the forest of guns are soldiers wearing fine armor.

He looked to both sides again, illuminated by piles of torches.

He found that there were lakes, ponds, ditches and water branches on both sides of the road.

The gaps between these natural obstacles are also covered with layers of spear phalanxes.

Behind these lakes, ditches, and water branches are the Chu army's heavy infantry with shields and swords, as well as Huben archers.

The frightened Cao Shen hurriedly ordered: "The rear army becomes the front army, and the entire army retreats to the riverside."

The Lingxin soldiers next to him hurriedly rode back to convey the military order.

At this time, the Lingxin soldiers of the rear army hurried forward.

Came to report: "Report, all our ferries were sunk by the enemy in the river."

At this time, a loud shout made Cao Shen even more frightened.

"Cao Shen, surrender quickly, otherwise you will be buried today."

Cao Shen took a closer look and saw that it was Xiang Yu who was riding a black horse in the formation.

"Kill, kill, kill" the Chu army camp threatened in unison.

Cao Shen rode his horse back and forth twice, his heart pounded, he drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight and kill."

As soon as he finished speaking, five to six hundred fist-sized stone bullets struck.

They were all accurately thrown into the Han army's formation, and brains, blood, and bones suddenly flew everywhere.

There was a loud cry of fear and wailing.

Immediately after the stone bullets came the sky full of arrows, and the Han soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows one after another.

Cao Shen rode his horse and led his troops to rush out.

The five-meter long spears of the spear phalanx had all fallen down.

Xiang Yu deployed three Tiger Divisions in this battle, using the water network terrain to tightly surround the Han army and horses for two to three miles.

It was impossible for the Han army to rush through the formation of spears that was twelve columns deep.

If they don't surrender, they can only be killed by random arrows and rocks like wild beasts trapped in a cage.

The Han soldiers in front rushed out row after row, but they all fell under the spear points and arrows of the Chu army.

The remaining Han troops were desperate, and everyone knew in their hearts that the only other option besides surrender was to die.

Led by junior officers such as Junhou, the Han soldiers threw away their weapons in batches and raised their hands in surrender.

Ding, the temporary mission "Destroy the invading enemies" is completed.
