"Your Majesty, I can issue a military order, but I can't come to see you!"

 Xu Da made a solemn promise.

 "How do you know that Liu Bang will definitely lead the army to Dong'a?" Xu Feng asked again.

 "Your Majesty, look at the map."

 Xu Da pulled a map and pointed to the south of Handan, a large lake at the junction of Xue County, Dong County and Dang County, Juye Ze.

 "Your Majesty, from Juyeze in the east to Daliang in the west, there are mountains and there are no roads to pass through.

 If Liu Bangzhen went north with 10,000+ Han troops, he would never be able to cross the mountains and forests.

 That is too dangerous, and it will take at least 20 more days. For Liu Bang, who has no logistics base at this time, he will not choose how much more food will be consumed.

 As a result, taking the avenue is their only choice.

 And from the south to the north, the nearest road to the east is the road that passes through the east of Juyeze.

 Therefore, as long as the Weichen leads the army to go south ahead of time and guard here in Dong'e and Zhang County, he will definitely wait for Liu Bang's Han army. "

 Xu Da analyzed for Xu Feng.

 "Is this the case, [-] soldiers and horses are enough? There is no joke in the army."

 At this time, Xu Feng really expected Xu Da to stand up and provoke the leader.

 "Your Majesty, [-] soldiers and horses are enough, and the humble officials are only blocking the Han army, not defeating the Han army.

 Your Majesty only needs to give Weichen 3 horses. Even if Liu Bang brings 10,000+ Han troops, within three months, Weichen will never let him cross Zhang County and Dong'e area. "

 Xu Da said confidently.

 "Haha, okay, from now on, I will give Aiqing special privileges.

 Of the soldiers of my 16 army, except for the Xuanjia iron cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry, you can pick the rest of the troops at will, and you can pick a full 3 horses.

 Dealing with the Han army, I will entrust it all to Aiqing. "

 Xu Feng said so.

 "Thank you, Your Majesty.

 The [-] soldiers and horses of the Weichen should all be infantry, not cavalry. It is best to give the Weichen [-] armored infantry and [-] elite crossbowmen.

 There are also [-] specially made bed crossbows in the army and [-] barrels of kerosene, enough food for our army for three months. "

 Xu Da spoke his request.

 Xu Da's request was already a big mouthful.

 You know, there are only [-] armored pawns on the Qin army's side, and Xu Da will go directly to [-], which is nearly a quarter!

 There are also 3 elite crossbowmen, and the number of crossbowmen in the Qin army is only [-]. They are all equipped with a longbow and an arm crossbow, which can be used for close combat or long-distance shooting.

 There are also bed crossbows and kerosene, which are not very sufficient in the Qin army. These are important strategic materials.

 "Okay, I agree."

 But in the end, Xu Feng agreed to Xu Da's request without changing it at all.

 If Xu Da can use these materials and the 10,000 Qin army to really block Liu Bang's [-]+ army, it will be absolutely worth it.

 "Thank you, Your Majesty."

 "Xu Da, you can choose another person to assist you."

 Xu Feng was still worried, and planned to assign Xu Da another general to assist him in the charge.

 "Just let General Huang go south with Weichen."

 In the end, Xu Da chose Huang Zhong.

 "Okay, let Han Sheng assist you, the two of you gather your troops and go south as soon as possible."

 "promise."

 "Follow filial piety."

 Xu Feng looked at Guo Jia again.

 "Your Majesty ordered."

 "Immediately send Baili to rush back to Xianyang with my letter, and tell the prime minister to recruit [-] young men and all veterans in Guanzhong, and rush to Handan immediately.

 Also, an order was sent to Li You in Luoyang to lead the army to Handan.

 Then he sent an order to Jia Xu of Jiuyuan to leave 20 soldiers to garrison the Great Wall, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will all go south and must arrive within [-] days, otherwise the military law will be used. "

 Xu Feng also intends to do his best this time, and must win this decisive battle.

 For this reason, Xu Feng did not hesitate to transfer all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in Daqin.

 Especially on the Jiuyuan side, there are more than [-] soldiers of the Qin army at this time, still staying at the Jiuyuan Great Wall.

 And after the Xiongnu was severely defeated by Xu Feng in that battle, they have been completely honest in the past two years, and they never went south to attack the customs again.

 In this way, it is still possible for the [-] Qin soldiers on the Jiuyuan Great Wall to leave temporarily.

 As long as the decisive battle on the Handan side can be won, it doesn't matter if the Great Wall is breached by the Huns, and they can definitely fight back in the future.

 But if Xu Feng loses the decisive battle in Handan, he will have no future.

 On the second day after Xu Feng's meeting ended, Xu Feng received an urgent battle report at the Qin Army Camp in Handan.

 Sure enough, it was about Liu Bang over at Shouchun.

 "It really makes Feng Xiao right. Liu Bang really led 15 Han troops to the north at this time."

 Xu Feng handed the battle report to Guo Jia who was on the side, and said.

 "When our scouts delivered this news, the Han army had already arrived in Xiang County, and it would take at most seven days to reach Zhang County and the Dong'e area.

 General Xu Da will go back to lead the army this afternoon, and the time is enough for General Xu Da. "

 At the end of May, Xu Da led [-] Qin troops to the south, left the battlefield on the Handan side, and went south to the Dong'e area.

 When Xu Da led the army to leave, Han Xin also noticed it, and even guessed what the Qin army was going south.

 But Han Xin didn't pay attention to it. First, the Qin army who left was only 3 people, and it was impossible to block the Han army for a long time.

 The second reason is that at this time, Han Xin was racking his brains on how to rescue the main force of the [-] Qi army led by Zhang Han who was besieged in Handan by the Qin army.

 At this time, Han Xin wished that the Qin army would transfer more soldiers and horses from Handan, so that he could find the weakness of the Qin army and rescue the [-] Qi army in Handan city!

 At this time, the [-] Qi troops in Handan City were having a hard time.

 Since the [-] Qi troops entered Handan City, they did not bring much food and grass at all.

 Even if the [-] Qi army was besieged by the Qin army in Handan City, less than a month later, the food and grass in the city were almost consumed.

 Helpless, Zhang Han had no choice but to order the soldiers to collect all the grain and grass in the city and implement a special supply system.

 Zhang Han feels that in the city, different groups of people distribute food, among which soldiers get the most food every day, and ordinary people get the least.

 If it weren't for Zhang Han's special supply system, the Qi army in the city would have surrendered to the Qin army long ago due to lack of food.

 205 The Decisive Battle Begins

 [Please recommend for collection! 】

 "King Zhang, it's too late. The food in the city is almost exhausted. If this continues, I'm worried that something will happen!"

 In Handan City, Qi Jun reported to Zhang Hanhui.

 When the time entered June, the food in Handan City was exhausted, and the soldiers of the Qi army could barely receive two bowls of porridge every day.

 However, the more than 20 people in the city will be miserable.

 Their food had already been confiscated by Zhang Han's order, and each person could only receive a bowl of porridge a day, which was not enough to eat.

 The people in Handan City did not hate the Qin army outside the city at this time, but hated the Qi army inside the city to death.

 After all, if the Qi army hadn't robbed them of their food, they wouldn't have ended up in this field.

 As time went by, the grievances accumulated by many people in the city became more and more serious, and riots broke out in many places. The people attacked the Qi army and wanted to rob food.

 "Generals, is there any solution?"

 Standing on the wall of Handan City, Zhang Han looked at the dense camp of the Qin army outside the city, and asked the generals of the Qi army.

 "King Zhang, the wheat grains in many grain fields outside the city are actually ripe. Maybe we can send a small group of people out of the city at night to harvest the wheat grains."

 General You Qi suggested.

 "Well, this is a way, you can try it."

 Later, at night, Zhang Han quietly dispatched three groups of Qi soldiers from Handan City, each with 3000 soldiers.

 From the east to west of Handan, the three north gates quietly left the city, trying to harvest wheat in the grain fields near Handan City.

 "Keep your voice down!"

 At the east gate of Handan City, the soldiers of the Qi army here, led by a Qi general, quietly touched the large wheat field not far away under the cover of night.

 The soldiers of the Qi army were drooling as they looked at the wheat field not far away.

 "Be quicker in your movements later, and cut more wheat back before dawn."

 "Yes, General."

 Just when the three thousand soldiers of the Qi army were approaching the wheat field.

 Little did they know that a large group of soldiers of the Qin Army in black clothes and armor were ambushing in this wheat field at this time.

 Whoosh whoosh!

 When these Qi soldiers were about to enter the wheat field, they suddenly shot countless crossbow arrows from the wheat field, densely packed.

 Puff puff!

 Caught off guard, a large number of Qi soldiers were shot and killed by crossbow arrows.

 "Not good, there is an ambush, withdraw!"

 Seeing the situation, the Qi general shouted loudly.

 "kill!"

 At this time, a number of soldiers of the Qin army rushed out from the wheat field and rushed towards the Qi soldiers and horses.

 Immediately, the one-sided massacre began.

 None of the three thousand soldiers of the Qi army who were ambushed and panicked fled back to Handan City, and were all killed by the Qin army.

 The same situation is still happening in the west and north directions of Handan City.

 In the end, all three waves of 3000 Qi soldiers sent out by Zhang Han at night were ambushed by the Qin army.The last one didn't go back.

 Zhang Han stayed up all night, waiting in the city of Handan, waiting for the soldiers of the Qi army who couldn't wait to return, which made him feel bad.

 "Zhang Wang, come and see!"

 After dawn, General You Qi rushed over in panic and shouted.

 Immediately, Zhang Han climbed up the city wall and saw a pile of morale piled up more than a hundred steps away from Handan city, all of which were the corpses of those Qi soldiers who left the city last night.

 "Haha, listen to the Qi army in the city, see if there is a large grain field outside the city, hurry up and get it."

 A Qin general shouted arrogantly and presumptuously outside the city of Handan, deliberately angering the generals of the Qi army on the city wall.

 At the same time, the Qin army also began to drive the young and strong to harvest the wheat planted by the people in Handan outside the city, which happened to be used as food for the Qin army.

 "King Zhang, let the Weichen lead the army to fight out. Fighting with these Qin troops is better than waiting to die in the city!"

 A general of Qi couldn't stand the provocation of General Qin outside the city, so he asked Zhang Han for a way to fight.

 "Yes, Zhang Wang, give the order, kill it!"

 "Kill it out!"

 Many Qi army soldiers around shouted in unison.

 "Okay, enough!"

 Zhang Han yelled violently to silence everyone.
