I switched allegiance to Zhang Han and rebuilt the Qin Dynasty; Liu Bang was heartbroken.
Chapter 16: Most of the Righteous Are Butchers
Liu Bang deeply missed the days when Zhao Long was alive.
Zhao Long liked to plan carefully before acting, and to think thrice before proceeding. Every military campaign was planned.
Regardless of their battle record, Liu Bang's army did not encounter any particularly dangerous situations as they marched from Dang.
Not to mention, being trapped in a desperate situation like this now.
Liu Bang gritted his teeth and followed his soldiers away. With Fan Kuai leading the army to hold back the Qin army, his personal guards actually protected Liu Bang and fought their way out.
"Fan Kuai is here! Who dares to fight me? Hahaha..."
Fan Kuai was indeed brave. Wielding two halberds, he possessed immense strength honed from his time as a butcher. Even when facing these fierce and unparalleled Qin soldiers, he still managed to behead more than a dozen of them.
His eyes were bloodshot, like a ferocious beast in dire straits, exuding an aura of one man guarding the pass against ten thousand!
However, this was the Qin army, an army that charged forward without hesitation and always drew its sword against any enemy.
Even if it means death, it's for the Qin army on their charge.
The Qin soldiers were like sophisticated fighting machines, unaware of fear and completely ignoring Fan Kuai's terrifying power, charging forward wave after wave.
They were already a bunch of ghosts who had fallen into the abyss, and seeing the light again, they were confident that they could use their swords and axes to carve out a path to enlightenment.
Jiujiu and Lao Qin fought against the national calamity together.
It's never just empty talk!
Moreover, these elderly and infirm people are the original Qin people!
I have witnessed the Qin Dynasty's lows and bloody battles, and I have also witnessed its sweeping conquest of the world.
The blood of the Qin people is steeped in tragedy.
From a humble horse herder in the Western Rong region to a mighty army that unified the six kingdoms, every Qin person sought a new life in dire straits!
What doesn't kill the Qin Dynasty will only make them stronger.
"Kill this traitorous general and avenge the tragic deaths of the people of Guanzhong."
The Qin soldiers relentlessly thrust their long swords and spears at Fan Kuai.
There were too many Qin soldiers charging in. Roars and screams echoed around Fan Kuai. Before he knew it, there were no more Han soldiers within a hundred paces of him.
"You guys, damn it."
"Tyrannical Qin, you deserve to die."
"King Han, run! Don't look back! Hahaha!"
Fan Kuai laughed wildly, wielding his double halberds as if he were possessed, completely ignoring his own defense, and fought desperately against the Qin army, giving Liu Bang a chance to escape.
He saw that Liu Bang's personal guards were getting further and further away, and the chaotic Han army in the encirclement was constantly attacking the Qin army's defenses.
The Qin army had no more men to pursue Liu Bang.
Fan Kuai fought fearlessly, showing no fear even with his injuries, eager to test his strength against the pack of wolves.
He felt that he was about to lose his grip on the halberd.
Are these Qin soldiers completely reckless?
……
Zhao Long had been watching the battlefield from a distance, ever since Liu Bang led his army to attack.
"Liu Bang also mobilized 15,000 elite troops."
Having served in Liu Bang's army for a long time, he naturally recognized that many of the Han soldiers who were attacking were Liu Bang's direct subordinates, whom he could not interfere with.
Zhao Ben scoffed, "Although Liu Bang brought his elite troops, his defenses were full of weaknesses. He really thought the General was an easy target."
"There was no probing before the war started, no defensive forces after the war started, and no sense of vigilance whatsoever."
Zhao Long shook his head and smiled. If it weren't for his appearance, even if Liu Bang had followed the normal course of events, he could have indeed treated Zhang Han as an easy target.
Liu Bang harbored ambitions to dominate the world, but what about Zhang Han?
He was one of the criminals who personally caused the downfall of 200,000 elite troops of the Qin Dynasty.
The Qin father and brothers resented him deeply, and the people of Qin did not love him because of King Wei of Chu.
He felt guilty towards the Qin Dynasty, and the people of Qin also resented him.
Zhang Han had already collapsed, and the Qin army was completely broken from top to bottom, so naturally they were no match for Liu Bang.
But now, everything is different.
Zhang Han regained his fighting spirit. At least in the army, Zhang Han had absolute prestige. Even if there was resentment towards Zhang Han deep in their hearts, the reason why the Qin people were called Qin was because seriousness and earnestness were engraved in the blood and bones of the old Qin people.
At least none of these Qin soldiers were cowards when they faced Qin's enemies again alongside Zhang Han!
They turned into a pack of howling wolves once again!
Zhao Long couldn't help but sigh, "Give the wolf a dead end, and let it find its way forward."
"Feed the wolves until they die, so that they can eat their fill."
"If you live in peace and contentment, you will have nowhere to live; if you fight to the death, you will live forever."
The most terrifying thing is not a pack of wolves, but a pack of wolves in dire straits!
The Han army was timid and had completely lost its will to fight.
Zhao Ben nodded and smiled, his eyes filled with meaning as he said, "Of course, the Qin army is a tiger and wolf in the world, but it lacks a king to lead it. A Qin army with a goal is never invincible, and others are always the ones who fear us!"
The Qin people, step by step, planted the Qin's black battle flag in every corner of the world, starting from the western Rong lands.
The blood shed by the Qin people following the reigns of the Qin emperors was beyond imagination.
But all the people of Qin still followed their rulers faithfully throughout the ages!
To march eastward and sweep across the world seemed to be an innate mission for the Qin people.
Zhang Han himself almost achieved that as well.
This time, everyone was still willing to follow Zhang Han and fight another good battle.
Let's start with Liu Bang, that traitor!
"Tonight, I might be able to kill Liu Bang and avenge my family."
Zhao Long squinted and chuckled. Liu Bang wasn't so easy to kill.
As the chosen one of this era, with destiny upon him, many of the suggestions he made would be forcibly steered back onto the original course of history, though Liu Bang himself didn't know what he was thinking.
"How is Zhang Ping?"
"Don't worry, young master. Zhang Ping is with Lü Matong, leading two thousand cavalry. They are just waiting to find Liu Bang's whereabouts and immediately pursue and kill him."
Zhao Ben smiled and said, "This is the confidence we have to take down Liu Bang today."
If Liu Bang had not been found, he would have been the one to swiftly end the Han army's campaign today.
If they find him, they will hunt down Liu Bang to the death!
Zhao Long casually waved his feather fan, a smile gradually appearing on his face: "I hope you enjoy your scene of fleeing in such a sorry state in this grand drama, King of Han."
……
Liu Bang finally broke through the encirclement, glanced back, and his eyes were already bloodshot.
The Qin army's deployment was an absolute trap.
Liu Bang growled angrily, "Damn Qin army!"
He had previously mocked the Qin army for having no capable generals, but the Qin army had indeed hidden troops in the forest, perfectly cutting off the Han army's retreat.
They surrounded the Han army in their grain and supplies camp.
The Han army began their breakout attempt as soon as they realized something was wrong, but so far, very few have managed to escape.
Only a few fierce generals leading their troops were able to break through the Qin army's defenses when they charged into the Qin lines.
Everyone's face was ashen, filled with grief.
Attacking the Qin army camp was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!
Liu Bang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he spoke: "Issue the order to immediately mobilize all the troops in the main camp. Today, we will fight the Qin army to the death."
"Immediately organize troops and go to rescue Fan Kuai!"
Those were his brothers, his right-hand men, he absolutely could not let anything happen to them!
Everyone looked dejected. In the battle just now, it was clear that the Qin army was outnumbered.
Those who escaped were still shaken.
Facing this Qin army, it was as if they were seeing the Qin army at its peak.
Those were wolves, the creators of fear!
Moreover, these are wolves driven mad by despair.
Liu Bang's gaze swept over the crowd, and he suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, there's no need for that, gentlemen. Since the Han army rose up, what kind of enemy haven't we encountered?"
"But who was the first to invade Guanzhong, who ultimately destroyed Qin, and who is the victor now?"
"Who is now clinging to life, and who commands an army of 100,000, wielding such formidable power?"
"I will stay here and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and watch the Qin army be annihilated!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Yes, no matter how strong the Qin army was, that was all the fighting power they had.
In contrast, the Han army numbered 100,000!
The advantage is mine!
"Your Majesty, we have fallen into a trap. The supply camp is a trap set by the Qin army. They may have other plans. Please leave here first. We will take care of the rest of the battle!"
Liu Bang's pupils suddenly contracted. He tried his best to suppress his suspicions about the trap, and still laughed loudly: "Haha, everyone, there's no need to worry. In my opinion, the Qin general who organized this trap is nothing special!"
"If he can gather all the warhorses in the camp and form a cavalry, pursuing our army on its retreat route, we will have nowhere to escape, we will surely..."
Before Liu Bang could finish speaking, a tremor shook the earth.
Everyone's pupils contracted sharply; this commotion was caused by cavalry!
