The Qin State was almost based on the whole country, and all the people mobilized to launch a war against the Han Dynasty. If you exclude the men under the age of seventeen, the rest could total about two million people. Moreover, all the troops could not be mobilized abroad to participate in the war.

, so some troops and horses must be left to garrison in the country. In addition to the 600,000 veteran troops stationed in the country, Ying Zheng also had 300,000 privately trained militiamen, bringing out 1.07 million troops.

Wars continued, and the people were constantly fighting and fleeing. However, the Qin State was based on farming wars and the purpose of all people being soldiers. The system was based on the whole country as the standard, and the soldiers and horses trained had a courage to move forward.

The morale and ambition of the people are as high as death.

Bai Qi, who was entrenched on the other side of the eastern tributary of the Fen River, had sensed the approaching danger. After learning that the Han army's coach had been replaced by Han Xin from the Black Ice Platform, Bai Qi's complexion suddenly became extraordinarily rosy, and his energy also improved.

Speaking of which, the opponent he faced now was too weak for him and could not be called his opponent at all. With Han Xin's replacement, Bai Qi had the strength to take the initiative to confront the Han army head-on.

"General, Han Xin has now arrived at the frontline battlefield. Liu Bang ordered Liu Xun to step down. Han Xin took over Liu Xun's position and commanded the overall troops on the Western Front." Meng Tian repeated the news from Heibingtai. Upon hearing this news,

Bai Qi was very excited, maybe because he was a close friend, or maybe he was excited because he hadn't met such an anticipated opponent for a long time.

"How long can our food last?" Bai Qi knew very well that from the time they came here until now, food has always been a problem in the army. What he was afraid of was that during the war, the soldiers would be too hungry to get up and lose their combat effectiveness.

The troops were lost in vain.

"In less than five days, the brothers in some camps have already eaten bark." Meng Tian reluctantly answered the question of current food.

Now it is indeed time to ask Ying Zheng for help in food transportation. If this continues, the army will not be able to fight a war of attrition without food. After contacting Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng said that now they have divided their troops into two groups, and the direction of Guoyang has been delayed.

The reinforcements in Yang County have also been blocked. If the reinforcements go north from the direction of Cheju, it will take at least five days to arrive, so there is no need to worry about food supplies.

Having said so much, the war on the Western Front is pretty good now. The supply line can be opened and food from the rear can be sent here. However, dragging down these important Western Front city reinforcements is the correct strategy. If they once

Bai Qi probably couldn't bear it if he sent troops to gather in Fenshui.

As for the Han army, more generals participated in the battle, such as Gongsun Du, Geng Yan, Wu Han, Ma Wu, Gao Shun, Sun Jian and other famous figures in history. They all appeared on the battlefield, and Liu Bang ordered strong crossbows.

General Dong Zhuo led 70,000 cavalrymen and archers and immediately followed up with the troops and horses of Guoyang County, replacing Huangfu Song. Huangfu Song came down and moved closer to the east bank of Fen River.

"General." Feng Fengshi, Cen Peng and Deng Yu came to the general's camp to report to Han Xin the number of their troops.

"Okay, three of you, please get up." Han Xin sat firmly next to the handsome man and nodded, motioning for them to get up.

"The general, the last general and the other two generals have assembled their troops, totaling more than 160,000 people." Deng Yu stepped forward and told Han Xin the number of troops and horses.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Our enemy on the other side is not Ying Zheng, but Bai Qi, the God of Killing in the Qin State. We must not underestimate them." Han Xin regretted what he said at the time. He didn't expect that he would actually do it.

Here he is, naming people who want to fight with him, and then they actually start fighting...

Suddenly, a general came outside the general's tent. After opening the curtain, he saw a new face, but he looked very familiar. Han Xin smiled and explained to everyone who the visitor was.

"Fengxian, let's get acquainted with the generals." Han Xin took the visitor's hand and pointed to the three people in front of him with his right hand.

The person in front of me is the famous Lu Bu in history. In the novel, his image is capricious and he always regards thieves as his father. However, in fact, his image in history is just a flash in the pan. He is famous for his bravery and is instantly replaced by some martial artists.

For the generals of the Han army to respect them, no matter what their background or who they were, just the word "martial" was enough.

Han Xin and Lu Bu also met when they were fighting Xiang Yu. At that time, he was a vanguard general and took the initiative to fight Xiang Yu dozens of times without losing. This gave Han Xin an idea, whether he could make him into a

The image of a general.

"Fengxian, this is our army's general Feng Fengshi, and those two are our founding generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cen Peng and Deng Yu." Han Xin pointed at Cen Peng and Deng Yu and introduced them.

"I have met General Lu. I heard that General Lu was recorded as a flying general in history books. But how does the general compare with the title of former general Li Guangfei?" Deng Yu looked down on Lu Bu's ability. He had read some stories about the late Han Dynasty.

In the history books, Lu Bu's only outstanding moment was when he was serving as the chief secretary under Ding Yuan and he attacked the Xiongnu. At that time, the Xiongnu had long since lost their glory, and they could only defeat soldiers and generals.

"The former general and the junior general are not comparable to him." Lu Bu took the initiative to give in, which surprised Han Xin. Didn't he say that Lu Bu was very proud? Why is this?

"Hahaha, it's just a joke, don't take it too seriously." Deng Yu patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and smiled.

After a small episode passed, Han Xin began to take some strict precautions for the layout of the frontline battlefield, such as the tributaries near Guoyang County. There was originally a lot of water here, so if you think about it, you can figure out how to cut off its water source and cut off its food and grass.

This is done.

But Bai Qi was very defensive, and had already set up deer camps and traps around the Qin army's camp. If Han Xin could see these things and dismantle them all, then Bai Qi would surrender and retreat voluntarily. The purpose of these obstacles is to block the Han army.

Attack, set up obstacles every 100 meters, let them enjoy the gentleness of the trap.

"Bai Qi has laid a lot of traps around. At this time, we should use the artillery donated by the Ming Dynasty. Just blow up these things with the cannon." Han Xin thinks quickly. Isn't it just a trap? It's easy to handle.

, just blow them all up.

Before gifting the cannon, Zhu Yuanzhang assigned several artillery experts to Liu Bang and asked them to instruct them on how to operate the cannon. Now, although the Han army is not so sophisticated in artillery technology, they have mastered it just right. At least they can blow them up.

obstacles.
