Chapter 206 Past life memory—Bai Hua

"All destroyed?"

The soldiers all cheered.

The 150,000 rebel army, coupled with the artillery, once suppressed the Qin Dynasty, which only had 50,000 troops, to the point where it was almost breathless. At this moment, most of them were actually wiped out. This is definitely a great victory.

It was absolutely unimaginable, but it happened miraculously.

Li Zhao nodded slightly. He was pleasantly surprised, but his joy was opaque.

"What are the casualties?" This was a question he was concerned about. Although he gave each city gate advanced weapons, the quantities were very limited. It must have cost a lot of money to still win despite the fact that the rebels had artillery.

But his estimate was wrong, and the scout responded excitedly: "There are only a few hundred people."

Several hundred people?

The soldiers were startled and looked a little funny.

With less than 30,000 people, we annihilated 70,000 bandit troops and only suffered a few hundred casualties. This result was a bit scary.

The scout saw everyone's surprise and quickly said: "It's all thanks to the weapons brought by the general that we achieved such a good result in one fell swoop."

The soldiers nodded, indeed, these are the weapons of the general.

After thinking about it, I'm not surprised anymore.

With such weapons, it would be difficult for the bandit army to win.

"Can we catch the thief's leader?" Li Zhao asked again.

The scout was stunned and looked a little embarrassed. It was too chaotic at that time, and the grenade refused to recognize anyone. Jia Xiong and other thieves were all killed.

"They were all blown up."

He bowed his hands and responded.

Li Zhao smiled bitterly. Jia Xiong was a traitor and deserved to be hanged. It was really an advantage for him to die like this, but he was not persistent. Since they were all dead, let him die!

They no longer pose a threat to Da Qin.

"Okay, go back and tell Zhang Han and ask him to clean up the scene. When the general destroys the remnants of the bandit army, it will be time to celebrate."

The scout hesitated to speak, still holding his hands in hand, but his eyes flickered.

Li Zhao's expression darkened, he stared at the scout unkindly, and asked, "Let me know if you have anything to say."

The scout said: "General, after General Zhang Han destroyed the rebel army, he led his troops towards the Dianshui River."

The Dianshui River is a tributary of the Weishui River. It passes through Zhangtai Palace and flows straight to Shanglin Garden.

The Wei River crosses Xianyang and flows from west to east. It is the largest stream in the Qinling Mountains.

"Why are you going to Dianshui River?" Li Zhao frowned.

The Dian River is to the south of Xianyang, and the remnants of the rebel army are clearly to the east. What is Zhang Han's intention in doing this?

He was sure of Zhang Han's loyalty, but his behavior at this moment was very intriguing, and it was the scout who cleared up his doubts.

"The scouts came to report that the rebel army knew that the situation was over, so they immediately retreated, crossed the east and went down the Wei River, and then turned into the Shu River. After General Zhang Han learned about it, he immediately led his army to pursue and ordered

I will come immediately to report to the general."

Oh! Li Zhao hesitated, feeling that everyone's passionate swearing-in just now was just a showpiece, and the bandit army ran away before the battle started.

It was ridiculous for a moment. It was all my fault that I was too pretentious after destroying the artillery and missed the opportunity to fight, giving the rebels a chance to escape.

but.

The next moment his brows furrowed again.

The rebel army is in the east. If they want to escape, they can just take the Wei River and then pass through the Jing River. Wouldn't it be very easy to escape? Why take the risk and go to the Pian River? You must know that tens of thousands of troops led by Zhang Han are in the south.

Aren't you going to hit Zhang Han's bowl?

If the bandit army was just a large army of peasants, it would not be surprising that they would do this. But with Zhang Liang among them, it is puzzling that such a cunning man would make such a decision.

But now is not the time to think about this problem. The bandits are deliberately planning to attack Xianyang. Now that they have been defeated, they must eradicate the situation and never allow them to come back again.

"Let's go, prepare the ship immediately and pursue."

The Qinling Mountains are full of mountains, and they are continuous. Three rivers pass through here, converging in Xianyang, south of the Wei River, and branching out from the Pian River. There are steep mountains on both sides of the Pian River. However, with the development over the years, it is not a dead end, no matter it is

It is accessible by both water and land routes.

However, the land route ends smoothly at Shanglinyuan, and there is a mountain road below, which is difficult to pass.

On the other side of the Dianshui River are other rivers, and there is a way to escape. If the rebels are allowed to escape, they will definitely escape.

Li Zhao couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

"Go forward at full speed." Standing on the boat, Li Zhao gave the order, but he was very anxious. After traveling for so long, he did not see Zhang Han, let alone the rebels. He must have been delayed for too long.

He is also worried that if Zhang Han catches up with the rebel army, it is still unknown whether he can compete with him. If the rebel army still has artillery, then Zhang Han will be in danger.

The anti-aircraft guns and grenades he gave Zhang Han were not many, and they must have been almost used up in the defensive battle.

So rash, the situation was not optimistic, and he had to catch up and provide support as soon as possible.

Da Qin's ships were still in the primitive stage of sculling, and their sailing speed depended entirely on manpower.

The leader of the bandit army is Xiang Gong. Since he is a person from time travel, he must have advanced technology in shipbuilding. If they use sails, it will be difficult to catch up!

However, Li Zhao's worries were unnecessary.

When we arrived at Shanglin Garden, we saw many ships in the distance, and each ship was filled with people. Judging from their clothing, it was not difficult to tell that they were from the Qin army, and were undoubtedly led by Zhang Han.

But

Li Zhao was confused.

The ships stopped and did not continue to move forward. They were crowded together, and many soldiers were seen ashore and were gathering forward.

"Go forward quickly and find out what happened immediately."

Soon, soldiers came to report that the rebels did not escape anymore, but gathered their troops in Afang Palace. General Zhang Han was besieging Afang Palace from all sides.

Li Zhao scratched his head after hearing this and couldn't figure out why the bandit army had to stop at Afang Palace when they had a way out.

This is the Epang Palace, a palace that was forced to stop construction. In modern terms, this is an unfinished project.

The ships moved forward and when they arrived at the gathering place, thousands of troops immediately joined the siege.

"General, you are here."

Seeing Li Zhao, Zhang Han immediately saluted, but his eyes did not take away from the bandits who were slowly retreating into Afang Palace.

Li Zhao nodded to Zhang Han and his eyes fell on the rebel army.

However, he was even more puzzled because Epang Palace was full of unfinished buildings. From a historical perspective, there was absolutely no passage to leave. Even if there was a passage, it would not be able to accommodate so many people.

But why did the bandit army choose to gather here and retreat inward? Didn't this give the Qin army an opportunity to encircle and suppress it?

"Do you want to attack immediately?" Zhang Han asked.

At this moment, the army has surrounded Afang Palace. If there is no accident, it will be impossible for the rebels to escape. Moreover, he has seen clearly just now that there are no artillery among the rebels.

The elite troops brought by the general also had machine guns and grenades. With these two, even if the other soldiers did not attack, they could destroy the rebel army.

But Li Zhao didn't respond immediately. His mind was racing, and there were always some questions he couldn't explain.

Is this really Xiang Gong's army? Is it the army led by Zhang Liang who is strategizing thousands of miles away? Obviously, there is no doubt about it, but why would they commit such a suicide act?

Could it be that he knew that he was going to die, so he had to die in Afang Palace?

This idea is a bit funny. If they follow the water down the water, they will definitely be able to escape, and they can leave the Qin army far behind, because he can see clearly that the warship parked on the water is the warship with sails.

, at this moment, I followed the direction of the wind and escaped with great success.

But why?

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.

"That's all. The bandit army has reached its end. There is no need to cause unnecessary casualties. Just surround them."

This is a siege strategy. The rebels will never be able to hold on for a few days without food. When the torture of hunger reaches a certain level, they will automatically surrender.

This will prevent casualties.

Zhang Han nodded, this is also a better approach.

"But we need to be vigilant at all times to prevent them from jumping over the wall and breaking through from weak points."

This was Li Zhao's precautionary measure. In fact, there was no need to worry. Since the rebel army did not escape along the Dianshui River and chose to stay in Afang Palace, they would definitely not choose to break out.

"General, why do you think they didn't escape when they had the chance? Are they waiting for something? For example, reinforcements or something."

Zhang Han said.

"Reinforcements?" Li Zhao frowned,
