The Qin army took advantage of the time when Chu and Han were fighting to lobby to occupy Yandi, which did not cause much repercussions, and at this moment, Zhangxian County had been occupied by Zhou Bo with 30,000 troops with lightning speed, and Xiangzhuang was isolated between Jiujiang and Barrier County.
In Danyang City, Xiang Zhuang wanted to take the opportunity to attack Gaocheng, just because Gaocheng was the capital of the Han Kingdom at present, even if Xiahou Ying and others were outside, there were still Cao Shen and others guarding the city, so they did not dare to rush in easily, but at this moment in Gaocheng, the fact is that there are no heavy troops at all, but they have been observing the situation of the two armies.
The news of the breakthrough of Zhangxian County reached Danyang in just a few days, Xiang Zhuang heard this, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, after all, there was no news when the Chu army came, it was only a few days, and the county was the only barrier to Huiji.
In the Chu camp, the Chinese army squire stood aside, looking at Xiang Zhuang helplessly, "General Qiyu, the matter has come to this, you still need to make plans early, so melancholy, Gaocheng and Zhangxian sent troops at the same time, what can I do about it?"
” Xiang Zhuang's face was uncertain, and he was still suspicious: "This matter has not yet been determined, let the soldiers report it again!"
There must be an oversight in the middle!
Zhangxian County is full of rivers before and after, how can it be suddenly broken!
” The squire didn't dare to say anything, he wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start, and while pacing back and forth, a messenger arrived at the same time, and once again replied anxiously to Xiang Zhuang: "General Qiyu, Zhangxian is indeed no longer Chu!"
” This Xiang Zhuang was really a little panicked, "Gaocheng is right in front of me, I never thought that there would be a fire in the backyard!"
It's a certain mistake, I don't know if the Chu army still has a geometric battle?
” "General Qiyu, 20,000 people can fight!"
The Chinese army squire replied very loudly.
"Very good, now you can't attack the city, only to return to fight to the death, otherwise it will be owned by Han, Jiangdong is the old land of all armies, who dares not to fight!"
Xiang Zhuang pondered, and then ordered the whole army to fight!
Shilang has long had the will to fight, and Danyang is the border of Jiujiang, if he does not send troops as soon as possible, Gaocheng and Zhangxian will form a corner, and the situation may be irreparable for a while.
Thinking of this, the squire immediately said in a loud voice: "General Qiyu, you still need to send troops early, now that the soldiers are well stocked, and they urgently need a battle, cross Zhangshui, and attack Zhangxian directly. ” "It makes sense, quickly order your troops and fight back tonight!"
Xiang Zhuang immediately ordered!
And at this moment in Gaocheng, Zhang Liangxiao and others have been observing the situation in Shouchun, Danyang and other places, in their opinion, although Xiang Zhuang is a military general, he will not dare to send troops easily, so Zhou Bo just stabilized Zhangxian County and consumed the will of the Chu army.
On the evening of the same day, Xiang Zhuang led 20,000 troops, first led by the Chinese army Shilang 2,000 to build a bridge on the Zhangshui River, now it is autumn and winter, the Chu army in order to get the Huiji, are all clothes across the river.
It was not until around the ugly hour that all the Chu troops had finished crossing the river, and Xiang Zhuang immediately ordered to be stationed in place, eat a little dry food, and launch an attack half an hour later.
In the city of Zhangxian County, Zhou Bo patrolled and guarded every day, in addition to the loss of thousands of soldiers when he was captured, now he has basically recovered his vitality, and then surrounded the city to support tens of thousands of Shouchun, resulting in more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, and Zhangxian County is located in the south of the Yangtze River, mostly mountains and rivers, and does not need too many soldiers to guard.
After changing the last group of city guards, Zhou Bo went back to the room to rest, as for Xiang Zhuang, he walked forward at night, not daring to make the slightest movement, and all countries covered their faces with soil and kept silent.
The Chinese army squire was the forward, and he was the first to see the bright lights of Zhangxian County, and the archers of the front team stepped forward slowly and in a low voice, and the stairs on both sides were hidden in the bushes.
With the Chinese army under an order, the archers quickly got up, three thousand bows and arrows rained towards the west gate of Zhangxian County, two rounds of bows and arrows, the escalator army saw this and immediately followed, the ladder hooked on the city wall, the rear soldiers saw the situation and swarmed up, before and after just a moment, the Chinese army squire has led the army to occupy the west gate.
Xiangzhuang's soldiers also arrived at this time, the Chinese army immediately opened the city gate, the Han army in the city how could have expected this situation, many supervisors immediately organized a team, a thousand people gathered together, desperately resisted the Chu army, the Chu army from Danyang after three days, non-stop, rushed to Zhangxian County, homeopathic to open a west gate, is overjoyed, the Han army is at a loss, the morale of the Chu army is flourishing, so the situation of the two armies is clear at a glance.
Zhou Bo was sleeping soundly in the mansion, but after a while, he was woken up by the guards from outside, and before he had time to get angry, the soldier said anxiously: "General Qiyu, the West Gate has been broken by the Chu army, the three prison soldiers have all been killed, and there are still 5,000 soldiers retreating, it seems that they are not the opponents of the Chu army at all!"
” Zhou Bo in a hazy state didn't know what was going on at the moment, and asked with some doubts: "What do you mean by this, this is Zhangxian County, how can the Chu army break through!"
” "General Qiyu, the soldiers are very fast, the Chu army has been in Danyang for many days, and there is no news, and the sudden attack on the city today is also unexpected, and the general is asked to make a claim as soon as possible!"
The soldier still reassured.
Zhou Bo was not ambiguous, immediately put on a military uniform, and walked towards the outside of the mansion, at this moment the west gate has been occupied by the Chu army, Zhou Bo led two prison troops, slightly integrated 5,000 soldiers.
At this moment, Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed, thinking that the capture of Zhangxian County would inevitably lead to the loss of troops, but he never thought that it would be so simple today, and he would capture a city in Zhangxian County in half an hour.
Zhou Bo led the remnants of the soldiers to move closer to Beiman, just with Xiang Zhuang Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang had seen Zhou Bo in Huiji, knowing that his bravery was unparalleled, but he had no strategy.
The two of them are Chu Han, and the atmosphere was high at the moment they met, Xiang Zhuang held a spear in his hand and went straight to Zhou Bo, "Old horseman, take advantage of my entry into Danyang and steal my Zhangxian County, it's really hateful!"
” Zhou Bo was also not to be outdone, "The city is the city of the people, how can I come to Chu Hanzheng, how am I afraid of you!"
” The two of them had a gun and a halberd, wearing armor and no war horses, so they fought on the main road, Xiang Zhuang stepped forward with a spear and pointed directly at Zhou Bo's chest, his marksmanship was sharp, and he had no intention of forbearance.
Zhou Bo's copper halberd pressed down, got up suddenly, and reluctantly turned Xiang Zhuang's spear back, Xiang Zhuang sneered in his heart, reflexively swung around, and hit Zhou Bo's waist, Zhou Bo didn't mean to block at the moment, but stabbed Xiang Zhuang at the top of Xiang Zhuang's head with the halberd, Xiang Zhuang saw this, and had to retreat to avoid Zhou Bo's attack.
Between the fights, the guns and halberds intersect, like dragons and tigers fighting, dragons chanting thousands of miles and tigers roaring deep mountains, you come and go, have been fighting for a long time, and still do not distinguish between victory and defeat.
At this time, the soldiers of the Chu and Han armies were already exhausted, but the Chu army still had the advantage, and the Han Jian army saw that Zhou Bo had no intention of stopping, so he had to shout from the side: "General go, the north gate is still there!"
” Zhou Bo reacted suddenly, led the remnants of the army to flee towards the north gate, Xiang Zhuang wanted to chase out, but the time was urgent, and the soldiers were tired all night, so they ordered to defend the city and rectify, and no longer chased Zhou Bo.
As for Zhou Bo, he went west to the edge of Zhangshui, and fled along Zhangshui for a few hours before stopping to set up camp, ready to rest for a while, and then went north along Zhangshui.
