Year after year.

Time changes its own colors in the cycle of reincarnation.

After four years of arduous battles, Li Yuan finally successfully brought Qin on the track of revival and prosperity. Among them, the solemn black of Qin undoubtedly occupied the entire sky in 205 BC.

The princes of Guandong and Qin.

Just like two boxers on the ring, the princes led by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were smooth sailing and forced their opponents to a desperate situation. It seemed that they only needed a light punch to completely end the game, but suddenly, they were hit hard by Li Yuan, an opponent who did not play according to common sense.

Almost in an instant.

The seemingly powerful alliance of princes fell apart. Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Wei Bao, Wu Rui and other princes had their own selfish intentions and could no longer find the feeling of trust that was united in the past.

This time, the Qin State's military deployment to attack the Han Dynasty had been planned for three months. In order to win this decisive battle, the Qin State mobilized almost all its national strength. The standard bronze weapons mass-produced by soldiers in Lishan, Xianyang were transported in batches through the Baoxie Road.

In order to test the role of the new iron weapon, Sima Yin also transferred the five hundred iron ring head-handled knives from the military division in Jinyang.

Five hundred.

The number seemed to be a little less, but when Han Xin heard that the craftsmen made it day and night, he was very moved.

Jinyang soldiers built.

From its establishment to the present, it has only been less than three months. Among them, the resettlement of craftsmen, the construction of blast furnaces, the mining of coal stones, and the transportation of iron and stones mined from Jushui, Hanzhong, are facing Sima Yin. If you want to solve them one by one, time is the most urgent.

The sharpness of the Qin-made ring-headed iron sword cannot be compared with the bronze heavy sword that reaches its peak in craftsmanship. However, a victory of performance is destined to be the inevitability of iron weapons to eventually replace bronze weapons.

Tough.

It is the primary performance of weapons.

At present, although the Qin State's bronze sword is extremely sharp, it is not durable. Every time the Qin army conquers, it will inevitably damage a large number of bronze weapons. Such consumption forces the Qin State to invest a lot of manpower, material resources, and iron weapons in the mining of copper mines, the manufacturing of weapons, and the transportation of copper. Even if it is not as sharp as the bronze sword, as long as it is sufficient in its perseverance, it can allow the Qin army soldiers to fight repeatedly continuously, which will play a great role in improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

Han Xin selected Erba soldiers to test the effect of the battle between iron and bronze. The result was very gratifying. After more than ten collisions of the iron ring-headed sword, there were only some rolls on the blade. If it were killed, it would not have much hindrance.

The bronze sword is different. Even if it penetrates into rare metal tin with extremely strong toughness, it cannot support multiple consecutive strong attacks. In the face of the contradiction between hardness and toughness, the craftsmen of the Qin State have done their best, and there is no way to make any obvious improvements in technology.

When the footsteps of the fourth year of Qin Xinli sounded, the Qin army finally completed the attack deployment of Liu Bang's Han army. During this war, the Qin army launched an attack from two directions.

The main attack was Wuguan, Hanzhong County, with Hanzhong County governor Han Xin as the main general, leading 50,000 troops to recruit troops, including Bashu, Hanzhong, and troops coming from Longxi. Among the generals, the young generals of Bashu, Feng Xuan, the one-eyed general of Longxi, Cao Xin, and a large number of young Qin army generals and generals.

Han Xin's army would go east along the Han River from Wuguan and take Xiangcheng and Fancheng. If everything goes well, the Qin army can either go north to attack Wancheng, Nanyang County, or cross the river plains directly to take the county of Nanjun, which is also the current capital of the Han Dynasty.

Compared with Han Xin, the main attacker, the Qin army on the other side was a partial division, with less troops, only about 15,000 people. This route set out from Luoyang and attacked southward.

The one who led this group of partial teachers was nothing but Li Yuan.

Under the rule of Sanchuan County, except for Xingyang, southeast of Hulaoguan, which is still in the hands of the Chu army, the rest of the place has been belonged to Qin. Li Yuan left 5,000 soldiers to Jiang Yu at Hulaoguan as a warning, and then led several generals including border general Su Jiao, Meng Hu and Sanchuan County general Zhang Ping to lead troops to fight south.

Letting Han Xin stand alone is trust and a heavy responsibility. Li Yuan meant to hone Han Xin's abilities in such a battle.

Li Yuan hopes that in the near future, a natural warrior like Han Xin will play a stage that will not only be in the Central Plains. At the same time, in order to prevent Liu Bang from having any new tricks, Li Yuan carefully led the side troops to fight. In this way, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks Liu Bang had, Li Yuan could deal with them easily.

March.

Hanzhong County, located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, is drizzling, flowers blooming everywhere, and the atmosphere of spring is everywhere.

Wuguan.

On the pass, the flags of the Great Qin are as dark as ink, flying again, from Chu to Qin, from Qin to Han, and from Han to Qin. While making people feel the vicissitudes of the world, they also lament the strength of Qin's national strength.

The spring breeze is proud and the horse's hooves are fast.

Han Xin, the magistrate of the Zhong County of Qin and Han Dynasty, was in high spirits. Under the escort of the generals and schoolmen, he stood at the highest point of the pass and inspected one army after another from all over the Qin State.

Han Xin's situation over the years is the same as the weather in Hanzhong. From the cold winter to the warm spring, from the young man who was forced to endure the humiliation under the crotch in Huaiyin County, to the penniless doctor under Xiang Yu, to the general who ordered tens of thousands of people to lead a county, Han Xin went from the lowest point of his life to the most dazzling stage of this era in just seven years.

Military achievements and glory are right in front of you.

The news of Lian Zhan's victory made the Qin soldiers who were selected to participate in the Eastern Expedition all raised their chests and looked proud. In the eyes of these old soldiers, Nanyang County, east of Wuguan, Nanjun is like a performer who took off his pants and wanted to greet but refused. The 200,000 Han troops formed in a hurry were like a group of native chickens and tiles, vulnerable.

Outside the West Gate.

Under the mobilization order to attack the Han Dynasty, flags appeared and another Qin army arrived. There were many Qin troops who responded to the orders like this, but this one was very special.

The soldiers were all blue-eyed and yellow-haired and tall. In addition to the hard bow made of poplar wood, each soldier also had several spears inlaid with bronze tufts.

This giant spear is as thick as a child's arms and as hard as iron. It is powerful in close combat. What's even more terrifying is that these soldiers have one by one's back and one's waist. If hundreds or thousands of people throw the giant spear together, the result can be imagined.

"Where did Hu Bing come from? Why is it so fat?" At the gate of the city, a young Qin soldier whispered to the old man beside him.

"Shh, you didn't see the banner. One-eyed Cao, you still don't understand. This is the team of Hu soldiers from Longxi, the fierce general Cao Xin." The old man spitted with anger and expressed his expression.

"Cao, Cao Xin——." Xinzun murmured to himself, and it took him a long time to cover his mouth in surprise.

Among the Qin generals, Cao Xin did not say first, and no one said second. And after losing his eyes, his fierceness in fighting made the Qin army soldiers who advocated bravery proud.

Cao Xin was full of energy.

Leading the newly formed 1,500 Yuezhi warriors arrived at Wuguan. After traveling thousands of miles from Didao, these strong Yuezhi men looked tired. However, when they looked up and saw the black flag on the Wuguan Pass, the soldiers immediately became active again.

"The whole army, line up and be in the parade." Cao Xin shouted loudly and narrowed his eyes at Han Xin and other generals under the banner.

Under Cao Xin's order, the Yuezhi people began to show their strength in front of many Qin troops. Whether it was bows and arrows, throwing, or the control of heavy weapons crashes, the Yuezhi people showed strong combat effectiveness. It has to be admitted that Cao Xin's transformation of the Yuezhi people was quite good in this short two months.

"General Han, how about it? Mr. Cao, you should have to take the lead first." Cao Xin laughed confidently, regardless of the ugly faces of the Qin generals beside Han Xin.

"General, how can I hand over to these Hu people first? The last general was assigned by General Wang, but three thousand Ba warriors were recruited. My Ba warriors were familiar with the battle in Chu, so they could not compare with those Hu people on the frontier." When Cao Xin heard that he wanted to seize the merits, Feng Xuan, who obeyed Han Xin in the morning, stood up.

Compared with the young and handsome young captain before going to Ba County, Feng Xuan is now more wild and less childish. In his fusion with Ba people, Feng Xuan gradually began to learn the habits of Ba people. For example, now, in addition to wearing black armor from the Qin army generals, he also has colorful golden pheasant battle feathers on his head.

"Don't argue with the two generals. From Wuguan downstream, there are two cities stationed by the Han army, Dengcheng and Fancheng, one in the south and the other in the north. According to the scouts, the Han army stationed three thousand soldiers here. It is better for you to lead the troops to attack one of the city. Who can take it first? Han will let him be the vanguard general." Han Xin laughed and said to Cao Xin and Feng Xuan.

"The last general order, within three days, he will take the head of the Han general in Fancheng, and offer it to the general." Feng Xuan bowed and replied loudly, throwing a provocative look at Cao Xin.

"Kid is crazy. Cao can capture Dengcheng in less than three days, just two days. Let the child see what a powerful general is?" Cao Xin shouted and responded aloud.

"In this way, there will be two generals. After the two cities are recovered, Han will report his military achievements to Marquis Wu." Han Xin said with a smile.

The Ba people and the Hu people were several powerful soldiers in the Qin army. Before the battle, with Han Xin's qualifications, either side could be favored to be dissatisfied by the other side.

In the era of cold weapons, this kind of competition between generals was the norm. Cao and Feng asked for battle to maintain the high morale of the team. As the chief general of the army, Han Xin could not favor one or the other. Now, he proposed a fairer way to attack one city, and immediately made Cao Xin and Feng Xuan feel excited.
