Xu Feng has been in this era for more than a year, and this is the first time Xu Feng has received news about Han Xin.

 As a result, Xu Feng was shocked.

 "Han Xin did not seek refuge with Liu Bang, but became self-reliant.

 This may not be a bad thing for me. "

 Xu Feng thought in his heart.

 You know, in the original history, Liu Bang had Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Chen Ping under his command, and Wu had Han Xin, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and other generals.

 In Xu Feng's view, Liu Bang has these talents under his command, and the threat is far greater than Xiang Yu.

 Fortunately, now that Han Xin did not take refuge in Liu Bang, it was equivalent to cutting off one of Liu Bang's arms.

 "Forget it, Han Xin is in Qidi, so there is no threat to us for the time being.

 On the contrary, it should be Xiang Yu who can't sleep the most now.

 On our side, we will continue with our plan, and first take Hanzhong back from Liu Bang.

 Otherwise, let Liu Bang control Hanzhong all the time, and I will be restless. "

 Xu Feng said.

 "Lieutenant, how is the recruiting going?"

 Immediately, Xu Feng looked at Wang Yong at the side and asked.

 "Return to Your Majesty, [-] recruits have been recruited, and they have been training for half a month."

 "Ah, very good."

 After Xu Feng returned to Xianyang, he asked Wang Yong to recruit another [-] soldiers, all of whom would be infantry.

 This is Xu Feng's preparation for sending troops to attack Hanzhong for the next step.

 At this time, the cavalry in the Qin army was far stronger than the infantry.

 But it is a pity that the rugged terrain in Hanzhong is doomed that the cavalry will not be able to play a big role here, and it will be the world of infantry.

 At this time, Xu Feng was in Xianyang and had already received the news that Liu Bang had annexed Badi.

 This further strengthened Xu Feng's belief in capturing Hanzhong from Liu Bang as soon as possible.

 Otherwise, give Liu Bang some more time, sitting in Hanzhong and Bashu, his subordinates will become stronger and stronger.

 At that time, it will not be so easy to seize Hanzhong from Liu Bang.

 "Your Majesty, when shall we attack Hanzhong?"

 Wang Yong asked.

 "Don't worry, wait another month until you finish training the [-] infantry.

 Moreover, the armor of these infantry has not yet been completed by the Ordnance Bureau. "

 Xu Feng has changed all the Qin army's infantry into iron weapons, and is changing them into iron armor.

 The armor sewn together with iron sheets and cotton clothes greatly enhanced the protection of the Qin army's infantry, at least a hundred times stronger than their previous armor.

 One month later, in late October of the fifth year of Qin II.

 Xu Feng swore an oath in Xianyang, dispatched [-] troops, and personally led the army. Guo Jia was the military commander, and Lu Bu was the vanguard general, and formally attacked Hanzhong.

 For this attack on Hanzhong, Xu Feng also spent [-] points, and specially summoned a new general from the system—Monk Hua and Lu Zhishen.

 As for why Xu Feng summoned Lu Zhishen, the reason is very simple.

 Because Lu Zhishen is the No. 1 leader of the ten infantry army among the one hundred and eight generals of the Water Margin, and he is best at infantry combat.

 This is the biggest difference between Lu Zhishen and Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others.

 Whether it is Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, or Huang Zhong, they are all good at fighting on horseback. Once they get off their horses, their strength will be greatly reduced.

 Lu Zhishen, resourcefulness 74, force 95, stamina 100, loyalty——, intimacy 75.

 In order to capture Hanzhong in one fell swoop this time, Xu Feng asked Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang to work together to formulate a complete attack plan.

 This time to attack Hanzhong, the Qin army will divide its troops into two groups.

 Among them, the [-] infantry of the Qin army led by Xu Feng will head south from the west side of the inclined valley and go straight to Zhengcheng in the south of Hanzhong County.

 This will also be the most convenient path to attack Hanzhong.

 In fact, there are only four or five ways to attack Hanzhong from Guanzhong to the south, and there are not many options for Xu Feng to choose.

 On the other side, [-] Qin troops led by Wang Yong and Zhao Yun will march south from Ziwu Valley in the east and kill them from the east.

 At the beginning of October, Xu Feng led the main force of the Qin army out of Dasan Pass, went south along the ramp, passed through the Mangmang mountainous area, and arrived in the Nanzheng area a week later.

 At this time, the Han general Wang Ling in Nanzheng City was informed of the news and panicked.

 While preparing his army for war, Wang Ling sent a fast horse south to Shu County to seek help from Liu Bang.

 Soon, Liu Bang also received the news in Shu, and urgently sent Cao Shen to lead the army to help Hanzhong.

 At this time, Liu Bang had already transferred his capital to the capital of Shu, leaving only Chen Ping and Wang Ling stationed in Hanzhong in the north.

 "Your Majesty, according to our news, there are about [-] Han troops in Nanzheng City at this time, guarded by the tomb of the Han general."

 Outside Nanzheng City, looking at Nanzheng City ahead, Guo Jia said to Xu Feng.

 "Well, Wang Ling is Liu Bang's diehard loyalist, it is impossible to persuade him to surrender.

 It seems that we can only attack by force.

 Order the soldiers to set up camp and build siege equipment. "

 Immediately, Xu Feng ordered [-] Qin troops to camp in the west of Nanzheng City.

 But that night, a Qin army pulled out from the Qin army's camp, and headed south under the cover of night.

 "Lu Zhishen, we must protect the safety of the military division when we go."

 Riding on the horse, Xu Feng exhorted the burly Lu Zhishen.

 "Don't worry, Your Majesty, with me here, no one can hurt the military advisor." Lu Zhi said in a deep voice.

 "Feng Xiao, you must be careful when you go here."

 "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jiahui will be careful."

 Guo Jia responded, and then said: "If there are no accidents, Liu Bang will soon receive Wang Ling's request for help in Shu.

 Within a week at the latest, the Han army will probably come to support.

 I led the army south for thirty miles to block the reinforcements of the Han army. Your Majesty must hurry up and capture Nanzheng City as soon as possible. "

 "Well, I know.

 As long as Feng Xiao buys me half a month, I promise to capture Nanzheng City. "

 Immediately, Guo Jia and Lu Zhishen led [-] Qin troops to the south overnight.

 In this battle, Xu Feng's side will undoubtedly focus on attacking the city, and it will be Guo Jia's side who will really fight the Han army.

 Guo Jia needs to block the main force of the Han army from the north of Shu to support, and there will inevitably be a fierce battle.

 After Guo Jia led the army to go south, Xu Feng mobilized more than [-] civilians and spent two days building dozens of large-scale building vehicles, hundreds of siege ladders, shield vehicles, etc.

 After sufficient preparations, Xu Feng ordered the Qin army to attack the city.

 Before Xu Feng came, because iron weapons hadn't been popularized yet, the defenders had too much advantage.

 Therefore, before the Qin Dynasty, they rarely fought this kind of city offensive and defensive battles, and mostly fought in the field.

 And once encountering the enemy's defense of the city, the main focus is to siege the city instead of forcibly attacking the city.

 Because, after forcibly attacking the city, unless the power gap between the two sides is very large, the attacking side will often suffer heavy casualties and it will be difficult to attack.

 However, with the promotion of iron, the Qin army equipped with armor and iron weapons greatly enhanced its siege capabilities.

 "Siege!"

 Then, Xu Feng couldn't wait to issue the siege order.

 Xu Feng understood that Guo Jia only had 2 horses, and he didn't know how long he could resist the Han army in the south. He had to capture Nanzheng City as soon as possible.

 Oh oh oh!

 The low sound of the horn, I remembered again.

 Whoa whoa whoa!

 Teams of Qin army infantry pushed shield carts, carried ladders, and pushed large building carts, slowly advancing towards Nanzheng City.

 With the siege experience of Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Huang Zhong and others during the Three Kingdoms period, plus some experience of Xu Feng's later generations, their siege experience far surpassed that of people in Qin Shi's era.

 "Fire arrows!"

 Whoosh whoosh!

 As the Qin army began to attack the city, Wang Ling commanded the soldiers of the Han army on the city wall to shoot arrows at the soldiers of the Qin army who were attacking the city.

 The dense rain of arrows fell like rain, causing many casualties to the attacking soldiers of the Qin army.

 However, Qin Jun soon reacted.

 The attacking infantry held their shields, or hid behind the shield chariot, and advanced slowly.

 "shoot!"

 And soon, the [-] crossbowmen on the side of the Qin army outside the city lined up in a five-square formation, chose a good position outside the city, and shot arrows towards Nanzheng City to provide fire support for the attacking Qin army.

 The bows and crossbows of the Qin army are much stronger than those of the Han army.

 Qin Jun's previous arm crossbows were extremely famous.

 After Xu Feng came over, he asked the craftsmen to improve the craft of making the crossbow, replacing the previous bronze with iron, so that the Qin crossbow would become bigger and have a longer range in the future.

 "Kill!"

 Teams of Qin Army infantry carried the ladders and rushed to the city wall of Nanzheng, leaned the ladders against the walls, and climbed up the ladders.

 In fact, these Qin army infantry had already been trained by Wang Yong when they were in Xianyang for siege operations like this, and they were already very proficient.

 "Kill!"

 In Hanzhong Nanzheng City, tens of thousands are attacking the city frantically.

 Boom boom boom!

 Hundreds of catapults were lined up outside the city, and there were hundreds of them. The soldiers of the Qin army were operating them, and they were throwing stones towards the Nanzheng city wall.

 Whoosh whoosh!

 Five thousand Qin army archers, divided into five square formations, shot arrows towards the Nanzheng city wall.

 There are also Qin Army crossbowmen standing on the erected Qin Army Building Carriage and shooting at the Han Army soldiers on the city wall.

 After all, it is more convenient to shoot flat than to shoot upwards under the city.

 In particular, the bed crossbow brought by the Qin army was terrifyingly powerful, causing huge damage to the soldiers of the Han army defending the city.

 More importantly, every time this powerful bed crossbow hits a Han soldier, it is too shocking.

 "what!"

 Another scream came from the city wall of Nanzheng, and a Han soldier was directly pierced through the chest by a long arrow as thick as a thumb.

 Then, the huge force carried by the huge arrow directly flew the Han soldier out and nailed it to the city wall behind.

 "Hold on, hold on!"

 Wang Ling personally ran on the city wall of Nanzheng to cheer for the soldiers of the Han army defending the city.

 On the first day when the Qin army attacked the city, Xu Feng sent [-] soldiers to attack Nanzheng City in turn from three walls.

 The battle lasted from morning until evening.

 The Qin army failed to break into Nanzheng City, and had to retreat after dark.
