Meng Tian waited in Xingyang for two days, but Xiang Yu's army did not attack the city, but news came that Han Xin had arrived outside the city. When Meng Tian went to the city, he saw that Han Xin had only a few thousand soldiers and was very confused and ordered Han Xin to enter the city to inquire about the situation.

Meng Tian is a famous general in the world and a great wise man. When he heard Han Xin's account, he knew that something big happened to Han Gu Pass. He immediately transferred 20,000 troops to Han Xin and rushed to Han Gu Pass at full speed.

Han Xin led a 20,000 army to support Hangu Pass. Within a half-day marching, he met Feng Guangli's army coming from Hangu Pass. After exchanging information with each other, he went to Xingyang to join Meng Tian. In this way, the Qin army in Xingyang City and the Xiang Yu army outside the city formed a confrontation like Wang Jian and Xiang Yan's army back then, which was the fierce army in Xingyang.

In addition, Fusu received Wang Li's report and Meng Tian's suggestion. At this moment, the imperial seal fell into Zhao Gao's hands, and Zhao Gao and others used the seal to issue imperial edicts to cause trouble in the world.

Fusu responded quickly, and all the transfer orders for the army were immediately subject to the orders of the National Weifu Office; the emperor's edict shall be stamped with the seal of the National Weifu and the seal of the Prime Minister, and the edict for the imperial edict shall be immediately stopped.

When Meng Tian and Xiang Yu were fighting in Xingyang, Fusu received an urgent report from Hongyan from Langya County: Xiang Liang, a rebel general of the Chu State, led 100,000 rebels to attack Langya County and captured Langya Cang.

After Fusu hurriedly discussed with Wei Liao, he decided to order Zhang Han, who was on the Northern Tour, to return to the army immediately and join Wang Wei in Julu. The army was dispatched by Zhang Han to annihilate Xiang Liang in Langya County.

After Han Xin led his army to join Meng Tian, ​​he began to discuss retreating hostile strategies. After a day of discussion, everyone did not come up with any reliable strategies because Meng Tian planned to let the rebels stay at the city of Xingyang, but now there is no fighter to annihilate hundreds of thousands of troops, and the army dispersed in the evening.

At this moment, Xiao He, who was responsible for transporting food and grass, prepared to report the escort food and grass to Meng Tian. Han Xin also happened to have just come out of Meng Tian's temporary shogunate.

When they met Xiao He who entered Qin together, Han Xin always regarded Xiao He as his elder, and was also a "classmate", so the two went in to see Meng Tian together.

Meng Tian had dinner with them. In the middle, Xiao He talked about the release of the children of slaves from Mount Li, and more than 300,000 participated in the cultivation of Guanzhong. Guanzhong was at a bumper harvest, but the grain had to be stored in Xianyang Cang, and the grain supply in the army was mainly Ao Cang built by the Wei State in the past.

When it comes to supplying food, Han Xin's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought. After dinner, Han Xin said goodbye. He lowered his head and thoughtful all the way, entering the military camp tent.

The next day, when Meng Tian was exchanging the tent, he found that Han Xin had not arrived, so he ordered him to ask. Until noon, there was no news about Han Xin.

Just when Meng Tian instructed the generals from all walks of life to be careful of the defence dispersed, Han Xin came. Meng Tian was unhappy and asked after the generals withdrew: "Why don't you come at the time of the general this morning?"

Han Xin knelt down and said, "The general went out to inspect the grain roads from Xingyang to Aocang in the middle of the night last night. The general has a plan to defeat the enemy."

Meng Tian was very excited: "Report it quickly!"

Han Xin rose up and said, "The rebels' military rations must not last long. The most convenient thing away from here is Ao Cang. Our army does not protect Ao Cang enough, and the enemy will soon attack Ao Cang. If our army sends a large army to protect Ao Cang, there will be insufficient troops to defend the city, and in the end it will only cut off the food route to let the enemy disperse, and the effect of pursuit is not obvious. The last general recommends luring the enemy out of the barracks and letting them attack Ao Cang, and our army will eliminate the enemy on the way."

Meng Tian actually knew the mountains and terrain of Qin State very well. As soon as he heard Han Xin’s suggestion, he understood, and said, “Okay, okay!”

That night, Xiao He took over the 20,000 troops and chariots brought by Meng Xin and began to transport large quantities of food and grass to Hangu Pass and Xingyang.

On the Chu army, Fan Zeng also saw that his army's food and supplies were unsustainable. He was worried about this matter. Xiang Yu was angry with him for several days and had not met because Xiang Yu had to send troops to attack Xingyang City several times and had issued a ruthless order that the city would be massacred on the day of breaking the city!

Fan Zeng suddenly received a letter saying that the Qin army suddenly increased its grain transport team and was obviously very hurrying. Fan Zeng judged that the enemy found that he was short of food, so he had already taken Ao Cang's attention, but he was not grateful for Xiang Yu's support.

When the army was in a state of shortage of food and was about to seize Ao Cang, the Qin army actually began to speed up the transfer of food and grass, so they quickly went to the central army's tent to discuss with Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu was sulking and was drinking. Seeing Fan Zeng coming, he said angrily: "Has the Qin army left the city to surrender?"

Fan Zeng ignored Xiang Yu's angry words: "Immediately, verbally order the generals to be promoted to the tent, and the war is about to begin."

When Xiang Yu heard that the war was about to start, he put down the wine lord and his mood changed instantly: "Come on, please send a command to gather the generals."

Fan Zeng arranged the entire army to seize Ao Cang. Among them, Zhonglimei led the leading troops secretly approached Ao Cang, spyed on the movements of the Qin army in the southwest of the East County, and attacked Ao Cang during the day to avoid being ambushed or being suspicious of the Qin army's cholera army. Long Qi led the central army to fight against Xingyang to rescue the Qin army, and Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng led the rear army to attack the main force of the Qin army.

Xiang Yu directly denied Fan Zeng's plan to rear army. He believed that he had an army of 350,000, while the Qin army was less than 200,000. When the Qin army went out to rescue Ao Cang, he should take the opportunity to attack the city.

Fan Zeng had no military power, so he had to agree to Xiang Yu's dispatch, but he still dispatched 20,000 troops to lead the command to critically attack the main force of the Qin army.

Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng argued for a while but still surrendered because he wanted to start a war too much. Zhonglimei led 100,000 troops to attack Ao Cang, Long Qi led 150,000 troops to aid the Qin army, Fan Zeng led 20,000 troops to cooperate with Long Qi to attack the main force of the Qin army, and Xiang Yu led the remaining 80,000 elite troops to attack the city fiercely.

Inside Xingyang City.

Meng Tian received a 100,000-strong order from Fusu and needed to rush back to Xianyang immediately. At this critical moment, Meng Tian thought twice about Zhao Yongbing that only Han Xin could take on the important task of commanding the sniper war in Xingyang.

So Meng Tian's shogunate gathered to hold a meeting and announced that Han Xin was fully in command of this war. All generals must obey Han Xin's orders and also transferred Wang Li from Hangu Pass to lead an army of 10,000 to Xingyang to help defend the city.

After two nights of secret marching, Zhonglimei's army finally entered the range of attacking Ao Cang. It found that Ao Cang's grain transport army was in high alert and in a hurry. It ordered the entire army to rest and prepare for an hour to attack and grab Ao Cang.

Zhonglimei assigned combat tasks to the deputy generals of each team, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The front team was ready to go. When the drums of war sounded, they shouted and rushed towards Ao Cang's defenders at the same time.

When the Qin army defenders saw the Chu army attack, they did not fight but ran to Aocang City Battlement to hide. This action surprised the Chu army, and most of these front troops were involved in the attack on Hangu Pass. The tenacious resistance they encountered at that time made them unable to forget the fierceness of the Qin army in this life.

When Zhonglimei's front army rushed to Li Aocang's battlements less than 300 steps, thousands of arrows suddenly shot out from the battlements, and overwhelming crossbow arrows shot out. After a round of crossbow arrows, the two thousand Chu troops who rushed in front were already lying on the ground and never talking.

Seeing this, the deputy general of the former army immediately ordered the shield soldiers of the former army to raise their shields to continue charging. The sound of the crossbow arrows sounded again, but the difference this time was that it was still a hissing sound. It turned out that the rocket was shot this time.

These leather armor or wooden shields instantly turned into torches, which made the Chu army very embarrassed to hold the shield. Zhong Limei led the subsequent army to see the embarrassing situation of the front army and ordered the army to disperse the attack. At the same time, according to the original plan, he divided 20,000 troops to intercept the grain transport troops.

When the current army put down the fire shield to put out the fire, the Qin army's crossbow arrows sounded again. This time the rocket (made by Luo Dechang) and the crossbow arrows were tilted three times at the same time before they stopped. The former army lost its combat effectiveness in an instant.

At this time, Zhong Limei began to wake up. His plan to attack Ao Cang had been known by the Qin army, or the Qin army had already taken precautions.

When he was commanding the army to attack the Qin army with 20,000 grain transport, the Qin army suddenly rushed towards its own army. The Qin army in black clothes and black armor jumped out of the grain trucks.

Countless Qin troops ran out of Ao Cang's battlements and were rushing towards their own military formations. Now the Chu army began to panic. The original plan was to attack the Qin army, but at this time, he found that he was ambushed and attacked on both sides.

Zhong Limei showed his leadership ability at this time. He calmed down and analyzed that it was difficult for his army to escape. He could only fight hard until Long Qi's army could turn the tables. He ordered the entire army to fight hard and fight to Ao Cang.

Han Xin saw the panicked Chu army suddenly and orderly killing Ao Cang on the nearby high slope. He secretly admired the generals of the Chu army. Then he waved the flag. The forest hidden in the Chu army suddenly sounded like a killing sound, and the boundless Jiuyuan cavalry came out.

Zhonglimei felt that the earth was shaking and turning the land under his feet into hell. He hurriedly ordered the entire army to turn south and fight, hoping to break through and meet with Long Jie.

Seeing the abnormal movement of the Chu army, Han Xin waved another flag again. In an instant, countless crossbow archers and shield spearmen formations emerged on both sides of Zhonglimei's retreat route. The army rushed towards Zhonglimei's army in an orderly manner, and at the same time, the crossbow arrows were constantly tilted.

The southwest of Zhonglimei's army was killed by Qin cavalry, and the northeast was chased and fought by the military formations that Ao Cang had killed. In the north, the army pretending to be transporting food was slashed and killed wildly. The roads between the north and the south were stubbornly blocked by this mixed army formation.

Seeing that his army was decreasing rapidly, Zhonglimei knew that the road to the south could not be killed through the Qin army's encirclement, so he ordered the central army to desperately seize the road eastward to break through. From morning to evening, Zhonglimei broke through with less than 7,000 troops and fled eastward.

Han Xin shook his head helplessly on the hillside and said, "If there were more than 100,000 troops, none of these enemy troops could escape." So he ordered the entire army to set off immediately to the preset second battlefield, waiting for the Chu army to drill into his pocket, except for more than a thousand cavalrymen who pretended to chase Zhonglimei's escaped troops.
