Xu Feng looked at Wang Yong and asked.

 "Returning to Your Majesty, over the past month or so, the veterans have recruited nearly [-] new soldiers from Neishi, Longxi, Shangjun and other places.

 Among them, according to His Majesty's request, all recruits must complete more than half a month of drills.

 So far, more than [-] recruits have completed the drill, and the rest are still in training. "

 Wang Yong answered truthfully.

 "Only 3 people? In this way, even with the addition of Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's troops, the number of people I can bring to Hangu Pass is only [-] people, which is still too small."

 Xu Feng shook his head, but he also understood that Wang Yong had done his best to recruit [-] recruits and train [-] soldiers in such a short period of time.

 "Your Majesty, let the remaining [-] recruits who have not completed their training be allowed to follow you..."

 "Need not."

 Xu Feng waved his hand, rejecting Wang Yong's proposal.

 "The prime minister and you sit in Xianyang, and you also need soldiers and horses. You continue to train these [-] recruits to defend Xianyang and guard against Liu Bang who is living in Hanzhong at this time."

 Xu Feng has always been afraid of Liu Bang who was hiding in Hanzhong at this time.

 Although, Xu Feng has decided to keep Zhuge Liang and Wang Yong in Xianyang, and guard his hometown for him.

 But Xu Feng had to leave some soldiers for them anyway, otherwise Zhuge Liang and Wang Yong might not be able to deal with Zhang Liang.

 Afterwards, Xu Feng looked aside and thought about Zhao Yun, and asked, "Zilong, is your guard army ready?"

 After defeating Liu Bang, Wang Yong was promoted to Taiwei by Xu Feng and handed over the military power of the Zhongwei Army. Xu Feng merged the Weiwei Army and the Zhongwei Army into the Guards Army and handed it over to Zhao Yun.

 "Your Majesty, more than [-] soldiers of our Guards Corps have been waiting for His Majesty's order and are ready to march at any time."

 Zhao Yun stood up straight and shouted loudly.

 "Okay. Taiwei, you will hand over the [-] soldiers who have completed the training to Zilong and incorporate them into his guard army."

 "Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Yong replied.

 "Lv Aiqing, where is your cavalry regiment?"

 "Your Majesty, the [-] soldiers of my cavalry corps always obey His Majesty's call and fight for His Majesty."

 After defeating Liu Bang, Lv Bu expanded his cavalry regiment with the help of horses transferred from Longxi and other places by Zhuge Liang, and added [-] cavalry drawn by Xu Feng from the system.

 At this time, Lu Bu already had more than [-] cavalry under his command, which was not a small scale.

 At this time, Zhao Yun's Guards Corps and Lu Bu's Cavalry Corps were the two backbone forces under Xu Feng's command.

 After solving the problem of soldiers and horses, Xu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang and asked about the soldiers and horses.

 "Prime Minister, how many iron weapons have we accumulated during this time?"

 This is also a question that Xu Feng is more concerned about, as long as Zhao Yun and Lu Bu's troops can be equipped with iron weapons.

 Xu Feng felt that even if his men were far less numerous than Xiang Yu's, they still had the strength to fight.

 "Returning to Your Majesty, after more than a month of building, the craftsmen in the city have become more proficient in making iron, and the number of iron soldiers we produce every day is also increasing.

 At present, we have built enough iron soldiers for [-] soldiers, among which the weapons of General Lu's cavalry regiment are given priority.

 In addition, we have also built [-] iron-tipped arrows, which are more powerful than previous arrows. "

 "it is good."

 Xu Feng was also overjoyed after listening to Zhuge Liang's report.

 "Prime Minister, send all the iron soldiers to the lieutenant soldiers immediately.

 In addition, you told the University of Technology to get him to figure out how to build the God Arm Crossbow and Bed Crossbow as soon as possible, and then make every effort to build these two crossbows.

 With these two kinds of crossbows, Prime Minister, you defend Xianyang, even if Liu Bang leads the army to attack, you don't have to be afraid. "

 Xu Feng reminded.

 "Yes, Your Majesty, I have remembered."

 Xu Feng stood up immediately, with sharp eyes and high spirits, and said loudly: "Since everything has been prepared, we will send troops to Hangu Pass in two days, and I will go to meet Xiang Yu."

 "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chapter 31 Liu Bang sent troops to cut off the grain road

 31 Liu Bang sent troops to cut off the grain road

 [New book please recommend for collection! 】

 On November [-]rd of the third year of Qin II, Xu Feng swore an oath as a teacher in Xianyang, and then led Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu to lead more than [-] Qin troops and marched towards Hangu Pass.

 One day later, Liu Bang retreated to Hanzhong, and Liu Bang, who was in Nanzheng City at this time, also received the news.

 "Pei Gong, Xianyang has just sent back news. Baoqin sent troops from Xianyang to help Hangu Pass."

 Zhang Liang rushed to find him and said to Liu Bang.

 "Yeah! Great.

 It seems that Xiang Yu's offensive at Hangu Pass was very fierce, and Hu Hai couldn't sit still in Xianyang. "

 Liu Bang was also very excited. They had long heard the news of Xiang Yu's attack on Hangu Pass, and they had been paying attention to the battle at Hangu Pass and the situation in Xianyang.

 "Originally, I thought Xiang Yu would be able to break through Hangu Pass, and then we will join forces with Xiang Yu to attack Xianyang together.

 But what I didn't expect was that the Qin army resisted so fiercely this time, blocking Xiang Yu's 40 troops outside the Hangu Pass, and did not advance an inch for more than ten days.

 However, this is also good. Tyrant Qin blocked Xiang Yu's army at Hangu Pass, and now Hu Hai sent troops from Xianyang to help Hangu Pass.

 In this way, the city of Xianyang must be empty, and our chance to attack Xianyang again has come. "

 Zhang Liang's eyes flashed brightly, and he was also waiting for an opportunity. Their fiasco in Xianyang last time kept him in his heart.

 "I heard that this time Hu Hai is going to take the imperial conquest himself." Zhang Liang continued.

 "Oh, what a Hu Hai, he really dared to leave Xianyang, he didn't take us seriously!"

 Hearing what Zhang Liang said, Liu Bang sneered, feeling that he was underestimated.

 "Zifang, immediately send an order to Guan Ying and the others to gather troops and horses to attack Xianyang with this Marquis."

 With a sullen face, Liu Bang gave the order, holding a sigh of relief in his heart, wanting to avenge his shame.

 "Yes, Peigong."

 For Liu Bang to take the opportunity to attack Xianyang again, Xu Feng had already thought of it.

 But Xu Feng has confidence in Zhuge Liang and Wang Yong, one is a well-known top strategist in history, and the other is a veteran who has experienced many battles.

 In addition, they are defending and waiting for work with ease. Even if Liu Bang has Zhang Liang to advise him, it is not easy to defeat the combination of Zhuge Liang and Wang Yong.

 Xu Feng left his hometown with peace of mind and entrusted Zhuge Liang and Wang Yong. He led his army to Hangu Pass to face Xiang Yu.

 One day later, Liu Bang sent troops from Hanzhong, leading an army of [-], and went straight to Xianyang.

 Just when Xu Feng led the army to rescue Hangu Pass, the battle at Hangu Pass also entered a very tragic stage.

 For more than ten days, the army led by Xiang Yu outside Hangu Pass took turns to attack without stopping.

 Although the soldiers under Xiang Yu's command suffered heavy casualties, the soldiers of the Qin army under Li You, who was defending the city, also suffered huge losses.

 One attack and one defense, the two sides fought bloody rivers at Hangu Pass, and the sky was dark.

 The huge casualties of the Qin army forced Li Youdu to ask Xu Feng for help.

 Xiang Yu had already beheaded more than a dozen generals in charge of the siege outside Hangu Pass, and Xiang Yu blamed them for their poor attack.

 Oh oh oh!

 The low-pitched horn sounded outside Hangu Pass, and teams of rebel soldiers appeared outside the pass, and Xiang Yu's army began a new day of attack.

 "Hurry up, close the wall, and the crossbow is ready."

 With the sound of horns outside the city, the soldiers of the Qin Army on the Hangu Pass also began to panic, and groups of soldiers of the Qin Army rushed to the wall of the pass.

 "Kill!"

 Immediately afterwards, the generals and soldiers of the Xiang Army outside the pass launched a strong attack on Hangu Pass, pushing tall cloud carts and carrying ladders, and the tragic offensive and defensive battle began again.

 The battle went on for a whole day, and in the afternoon, the soldiers of Xiang Jun, who had paid a huge price for casualties, finally reached Hangu Pass, and the soldiers of both sides fought bloody battles at the pass wall.

 In the end, the soldiers of the Qin army were not afraid of death, and forced to kill the soldiers of the Xiang army.

 Boom boom boom!

 Following Xiang Yu's order, Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and the day's fierce fighting came to an end.

 Fortunately, there was no iron weapon developed in this era. When a war started, the defender would make too much money.

 If it weren't for Xiang Yu's 40 troops fighting in the field outside the pass, he would have defeated Li You many times.

 Even the main force of the Great Wall Army, which was stronger than Wang Li, and Zhang Han's 30 prisoner army were repeatedly defeated by Xiang Yu in field battles, so Li Yu would not leave Hangu Pass even if he was killed.

 He is sticking to Hangu Pass, relying on the city wall to defend and fight.

 Even with Xiang Yu's 40 army, the Qin army led by Li You has a tenacious will to resist. Xiang Yu wants to conquer Hangu Pass, and a strong attack is definitely not the best strategy.

 Fan Zeng had already raised this point with Xiang Yu.

 Xiang Yu's generals also agreed with Fan Zeng's statement that it would be too difficult to attack Hangu Pass head-on.

 So, if he wanted to, he sent someone to persuade Li You to surrender, and even offered to make Li You king after conquering Xianyang, but Li You refused.

 When one plan failed, Fan Zeng made another plan.

 Fan Zeng let Xiang Yu continue to lead the army to attack Hangu Pass, but quietly dispatched Long Qi at night, leading [-] rebels to leave Xiang's camp, and went north to go around behind Hangu Pass to attack Tongguan and cut off Li You's food road.

 On November [-], the army led by Long Qie really detoured behind Hangu Pass, attacked Tongguan, captured Tongguan, and cut off Li You's grain road at Hangu Pass.

 In this way, after a long time, the Qin army who ran out of food at Hangu Pass will inevitably be in chaos and lose without fighting.

 "Haha, okay, Longqie has captured Tongguan and cut off the Qin army's grain route in Hangu Pass.

 It won't be long before the Qin army in Hangu Pass will have no food to eat, and then we will see how they reach the general's attack again. "

 Xiang Yu was also overjoyed when he received the good news sent back by Long Qie outside Hangu Pass.

 But Long Qie was only happy for two days in Tongguan, and it was tragic.

 On the 5th, Xu Feng took Guo Jia and the others to command more than [-] Qin troops. After arriving at Tongguan, he learned that Tongguan had been captured by Xiang Jun, and immediately launched a surprise attack.

 Long Qie didn't receive the news, and didn't know that Xu Feng personally led the Qin army to rescue Hangu Pass. He was caught off guard by the Qin army who raided from the west and was defeated.

 Immediately, Tongguan returned to the hands of the Qin army, and Hangu closed the Qin army's grain road and was opened again.

 Fan Zeng's strategy can be said to be very good, and he executed it well. He quickly captured Tongguan and cut off the Hanguguan grain road.

 But none of them expected that Xu Feng would be so coincidental that he led the army from Xianyang to rush to Hangu Pass, and Long Qie bumped into the arms of Xu Feng's army and was wiped out.

 "kill!"

 Rumble!

 Puff, puff!

 On the vast field from Tongguan to the west, a large number of soldiers of the Xiang army were fleeing desperately. Behind them, they were chased by a group of Qin army cavalry in black clothes and black armor holding shining sabers.

 When these cavalrymen of the Qin army, holding sabers high and riding good horses, rushed past the fleeing soldiers, heads flew up one after another, and blood shot out.

 "Haha, have fun, kill me, leave no one behind!"

 Lv Bu rode on Xiaojing, wielding Fang Tian's painted halberd, like a demon god, crazily slaughtering the soldiers of the Xiang army who were overtaken in front, frightening the souls of the other soldiers of Xiang army, and surrendered one after another.

 It's a pity that they met Lu Bu's cavalry, and Lu Bu didn't want prisoners. Only Zhao Yun's guards would accept prisoners.

Chapter 32

 32 Long Qi, Fleeing in Panic

 [New book please recommend for collection! 】

 "Why are these Qin army cavalry so terrible?"

 Under the protection of a group of Xiang army guards, Long Qi fled desperately on his horse, not even daring to turn his head back, and he didn't even bother to care about the life and death of the soldiers behind him.

 Now, Long Qi only wanted to escape from the battlefield as soon as possible, so as not to become a prisoner of the Qin army.

 Behind him, thousands of Qin cavalry led by Lu Bu were closely chasing them.

 Lv Bu led the cavalry under his command to rush through, and the shining saber slashed down, and the heads rolled to the ground, and the corpses of Xiang Jun's soldiers were everywhere.
