"Back to the general, according to the information we found before.
There are still quite a few Yan troops left behind in the capital of Yan State, at least 4 to [-] horses. "
After all, Ji County is the capital of Yan State and Zang Tu's old nest.
Even after Zang Tu led the main force of the Yan army to go south, he still left 8 or [-] troops in Yan.
As the capital of Yan State, Ji County has the most natural troops.
"In this case, we have no chance to conquer Ji County."
After Ma Chao heard the report from his generals, he knew that he had no chance to take down Ji County.
After all, what Ma Chao brought this time were all cavalry, and they couldn't attack the city at all.
Now, the Yan army in Jixian County has received the news, and they are prepared. They want to cheat the city or make a surprise attack, but they have no chance, so they can only attack by force.
But it is impossible for Ma Chao to let his cavalry attack Jixian by force, that would be an idiot.
"General, let's follow His Majesty's order and go south to meet His Majesty."
"Hey, all right.
The whole army went south to join His Majesty.
Leave a team here to monitor Ji County. "
Ma Chao immediately gave the order, and then led the army south to join the main force of the Qin army led by Xu Feng.
Compared with the 5 Qin cavalry led by Ma Chao, the Qin army brought by Xu Feng this time has almost [-] horses.
Xu Feng first assembled [-] Qin troops in Pingyang, and then went north to join Huang Zhong in Jinyang. Huang Zhong already had [-] Qin troops in Jinyang, plus Huang Zhong's direct troops, and [-] tiger and leopard riders.
And then, Zhao Yun also led [-] Qin troops from Huguan to Jinyang, completed the confluence of the three armies, and marched into Hengshan County in a mighty manner.
This is also the time when Xu Feng can mobilize all the Qin soldiers from Qin to fight abroad.
After all, Xu Feng can't fight abroad, and there is no garrison left at home.
At this time, the Qin army in Hanzhong, the Jiuyuan Great Wall in the north, and Hangu Pass, Huguan and other places in the east still have a total of 10,000+ people. These Qin troops cannot move.
The [-] Qin army was unstoppable, and Zang Tu had only a few thousand troops left in the Hengshan County he had just conquered. How could he be able to stop the Qin army.
Within three days, the Qin army went down to the five cities of Shiyi, Donghuan, Jiumen, Quyang, and Quni, crossed the entire Hengshan County, and rushed to Guangyang County of Yan State.
Judging from the marching route of the Qin army alone, it looks like a straight line, crossing Hengshan County and going straight to Jixian, the capital of Yan State.
Even Xu Feng didn't let the Qin army occupy other cities in Hengshan County.
This time, Xu Feng came rushing to defeat Zang Tu and destroy Yan Kingdom.
As long as Zang Tu is wiped out, not to mention Hengshan County, even the other cities in the entire Yandi will have to look forward to the wind, and there is no need to send troops to attack at all.
On Zang Tu's side, it was precisely because of this news that he learned of the Qin army's offensive route that he hurriedly led the army back to the country.
"Wen Yue, you lead [-] cavalry and hurry back to Ji County, and you must not let the Qin army capture Ji County.
The king leads the rest of the troops, and will arrive later. "
In Nanpi City of Julu County, when Zang Tu led the army to withdraw here, he was even more anxious when he received the news that the Qin army was about to enter Guangyang County.
He knew that according to the marching speed of their infantry at this time, it was terrifying that they would not be able to rush back before the Qin army arrived in Ji County.
Zang Tu had no choice but to first let his confidant general lead the cavalry in the army and return to Ji County to stabilize the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in Ji County.
For Zang Tu, Ji County is just like Xu Feng's Xianyang, and should not be lost.
Zang Tu arrived later with the remaining 7 Yan army infantry.
"No, don't worry, Your Majesty, the last general will not let the Qin army succeed."
General Wen Yue of the Yan Kingdom responded, and immediately led [-] Yan cavalry to head northward at high speed.
Turning his gaze back to Qidi, Han Xin finally received a message from Linzi in Jibei County on February [-], and learned that the Yan army had withdrawn.
Han Xin had been leading the army away before, and after Tian Fen returned from Pingyang, he couldn't find Han Xin either.
So, until now, Han Xin didn't know that Xu Feng had agreed to form an alliance with him.
"Haha, Tian Fen did a good job this time, and actually convinced the Emperor of Qin to join forces with us.
The Qin army aggressively attacked Yan, and Zang Tu must have regretted this time to go south to help Xiang Yu and besiege the king.
It's a pity that this king can't kill Zang Tu himself. "
After Han Xin laughed, there was a cold light in his eyes.
Compared with Xiang Yu, the archenemy, Han Xin hated Zang Tu, the King of Yan, who had made trouble even more.
"Since the Yan army has already withdrawn, I don't have to worry about Zhang Han's side.
Next, I can play slowly with Xiang Yu. "
Han Xin said coldly.
Before, Han Xin was worried about Linzi and was eager to get rid of Xiang Yu, so he was always passive.
Now, without the [-] Yan army, Han Xin believes that with the strength of Zhang Han's troops, there is no need to fear the Chu army staying in Linzi.
Now that the crisis in Linzi City is lifted, Han Xin doesn't have to rush to withdraw, so he can simply fight Xiang Yu slowly, so he doesn't have to be passive anymore.
"The Yan army has withdrawn!"
"Aww, the Yan army has withdrawn."
As the news of the withdrawal of the Yan army came, countless soldiers of the Qi army shouted excitedly above the city of Linzi, and their morale soared.
In Linzi city, Zhang Han stood on the top of the city, looking at the empty camp outside the city, with a smile on his face.
The withdrawal of the [-] Yan army is tantamount to directly removing the stone that was pressing on Zhang Han's head, greatly reducing his pressure.
After the Yan army withdrew, only relying on the [-] Chu army led by Zhonglimei, Yingbu and others outside the city, let alone capture Linzi city, even the siege could not be done.
"Assemble the troops and go out of the city tomorrow to fight the Chu army."
After the Yan army left, Zhang Han issued such an order.
Taking advantage of the withdrawal of the Yan army, the morale of the Qi army in the city was high, Zhang Han decided to go out of the city to fight a few battles with the Chu army, and hit the morale of the Chu army.
"Kill!"
On February [-], Zhang Han led [-] Qi troops, with their backs against Linzi city, and outside Linzi city, they fought a field battle with the Chu army led by Zhong Limei.
In this battle, neither side won. Zhang Han withdrew his army and returned to the city after fighting until dark.
Although the Qi army failed to win this battle, the morale of the Qi army was still high.
After all, some time ago, they were besieged by the Yan-Chu Allied Forces in the city, which is very different from the current situation.
"Come on, prepare for a night attack."
Zhang Han seemed to gain momentum, and that night, he organized another [-] Qi army to launch a night attack on the Chu army outside the city.
Zhong Limo never expected that when the Yan army left, Zhang Han would become so energetic that he would not pay attention to them and dare to launch a night attack.
The unprepared Chu army really let Zhang Han succeed.
In this night attack by Zhang Han, 6000 Qi troops and [-] Chu troops were attacked at night, and finally paid the price of [-] casualties, killing more than [-] Chu troops, and burning a large amount of food and grass for the Chu army.
"Zhang Han, you are too deceitful!"
After daybreak, the chief general of the Chu army, Zhong Limei, was furious. He felt that he was underestimated by Zhang Han.
"Assemble the whole army and go to battle!"
Then, Zhong Limei, who was enraged by Zhang Han, assembled the Chu army and invited a battle under the city of Linzi to fight Zhang Han decisively.
"idiot!"
Zhang Han looked at the letter of invitation sent by Zhong Limei, directly tore it up, sneered, and said.
"Tell the soldiers, get ready, if the Chu army attacks the city, they will fight me hard.
If the Chu army does not attack the city, then let them go. The king will go back to the mansion first and sleep. "
After finishing speaking, Zhang Han left the city directly and went back to the mansion to sleep.
Going out of the city to fight the Chu army, just kidding, Zhang Han really thinks I am a fool, why do I have to go out of the city to fight the Chu army at this time.
As for the Chu army, Zhang Han believed that Zhongli Mo would probably not storm Linzi again.
Before, the 20 Yan-Chu coalition forces failed to capture Linzi City by force, and finally chose to besiege it.
Now that the one hundred thousand Yan troops have all withdrawn, unless Zhong Limei was really dazzled by anger, it would be impossible for him to storm Linzi City at this time.
And Zhang Han fought a night attack from the Chu army, and after taking advantage of it, enough was enough.
Anyway, Zhang Han did not expect to defeat the [-] Chu army outside the city.
After this period of fighting, Zhang Han is very clear.
These Chu troops were all elites, and they would not lose to his [-] direct descendants. If there was a decisive battle between the two armies, he was really not sure that they would win.
Zhong Limo invited him to fight for a long time, but he didn't even see Zhang Han's reply, and he didn't see the Qi army fighting, so he was even more angry.
"Siege the city for me!"
The furious Zhong Limei really ordered the storming of Linzi City.
"Zhongli Mo, wake up."
As a result, he was obstructed by Yingbu, Jibu and other generals of the Chu army.
Fortunately, Zhongli Mo came to his senses and gave up storming Linzi City.

"With our current strength, it is already impossible to storm Linzi City.
The siege is also meaningless, it is better to go to Jibei County to join Bawang and eat the main force of the Qi army under Han Xin's command.
Then, turn around and clean up Zhang Han in Linzi City. "
At this time, Ji Bu made such a proposal.
"This...is a good suggestion."
Zhong Limo thought about it and thought it was good.
"However, we have to send someone to ask Bawang for instructions first."
It's a pity that with such a big decision to withdraw troops from Linzi, even if Zhong Limo was the chief general, he would not dare to make the decision without authorization.
Otherwise, if something happened later, Xiang Yu would not be able to spare him lightly after the war.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Limei sent a fast horse to the area of Ying County in Jibei County overnight. At this time, Xiang Yu and Han Xin were facing each other north of Ying County.
It is not far from Linzi to Ying County, and it can be reached overnight on a fast horse.
"Okay, since Linzi City can't be defeated, then let Zhong Limei and Yingbu lead their troops to meet up with the king, get rid of Han Xin, and deal with Zhang Han later."
After Xiang Yu received the letter sent by Zhong Limei, he also agreed to Zhong Limei's proposal.
On February [-]th, Zhong Limei led [-] Chu army infantry, withdrew from Linzi City and quickly went south to Ying County.
"My lord, the Chu army has withdrawn."
As soon as the Chu army withdrew, a general of the Qi army rushed to report to Zhang Han excitedly.
"What! The Chu army withdrew? Where did they go?"
However, after Zhang Han received the news, he didn't feel happy at all, instead he asked anxiously.
"The Chu army has withdrawn to the south."
The general of the Qi army replied with some puzzlement.
"Too bad, the Chu army is probably going after King Qi.
Earlier, the king received a secret report that King Qi was entangled by the Jingqi of the Chu army led by Xiang Yu at this time, and was confronting him in the area of Ying County, Jibei County.
Now, Zhong Limei outside the city suddenly led the main force of the Chu army's infantry to go south, most likely to encircle King Qi. "
Zhang Han was anxious, paced back and forth, and said.
