When the Qin army came suddenly, many soldiers of the Han army did not expect it at all.
Therefore, when Zhao Yun led the army and just entered the camp east of the Han army camp, it went very smoothly.
All the soldiers of the Han army who tried to resist them were quickly killed by the Qin soldiers.
Then, Zhao Yun led the army and rushed into the Han army camp to disperse the assembled Han army and not give them a chance to gather.
"Kill!"
It didn't take long for Zhao Yun to make a move here, and soldiers of the Qin army set fire to some tents of the Han army, and a big fire broke out.
Xu Da, who was ambushing in the north, saw the fire in the east, and decisively led more than [-] Qin soldiers to give up the night attack from the north.
"what happened?"
Very heavy, the huge movement from the east and north also disturbed Liu Bang, who was at the camp of the Han army's central army, and asked aloud.
"Report, Your Majesty, it's not good, is there a Qin army attacking the camp?"
A Han general ran over to report to Liu Banghui.
"What, the Qin army attacked the camp? With Xu Da's troops, he has the guts?"
Liu Bang didn't quite believe it.
The last time Liu Bang led the army, he recklessly tried to cross the swamp east of Juye Ze, was ambushed by Xu Da's army, and retreated after a disastrous defeat.
Liu Bang spent a lot of time and energy to send people to investigate the situation of the Qin army in Zhang County and the situation of the leading general Xu Da.
It was precisely because Liu Bang was very clear about the Qin soldiers and horses in Xu Da's hands, so Liu Bang didn't quite believe that Xu Da dared to attack him at night.
"Could it be that the main force of the Qin army in Handan has gone south?"
However, in an instant Liu Bang thought of this possibility again, his face changed suddenly, and he was quite frightened by himself.
"Quickly, send an order to Chen Ping, Cao Can, Guan Ying, and Fan Kuai to lead the four battalions in the east, west, south, and north to retreat, and Cao Can's northern battalion will be cut off."
After Liu Bang was frightened by the possibility he thought, he didn't dare to take risks, and gave orders to the generals under his command.
In this night attack, although Xu Da and Zhao Yun failed to defeat the Han army, Liu Bang finally led the main force of the Han army and withdrew after dawn.
But that night, Xu Da and Zhao Yun led nearly [-] Qin troops, beheaded [-] to [-] Han soldiers, and more importantly, surrounded Cao Shen's troops left behind by Liu Bang.
"Kill!"
After dawn, soldiers from the Qin and Han armies were still fighting on a hill.
The northern camp of the Han army led by Cao Shen, with more than [-] Han soldiers, was besieged on this small hill at this time.
Around the hill, more than [-] Qin army led by Xu Da and Zhao Yun surrounded the hill tightly.
On the hill, Cao Can's armor was stained with blood. Standing on the top of the hill, he looked down at the soldiers of the Qin army who were rushing up from below.
Looking at those soldiers under his command who kept retreating and fighting less and less, Cao Shen showed despair on his face.
"Pei Gong, Cao Can go first!"
Cao Shen had already made up his mind to fight to the death.
"The descendant will not be killed! The descendant will not be killed!"
At the foot of the mountain, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Qin army roared in unison, and many soldiers of the Han army were already afraid.
Some of the leading generals of the Han army looked at Cao Shen one after another, waiting for his decision.
"This general is Pei Gong's subordinate, how can he surrender to Tyranny Qin,
Soldiers, follow this general and go down the mountain to fight the Qin army.
kill! "
Cao Shen took the initiative to stand up and went down the mountain himself to boost the morale of the Han army.
"Go down the mountain with the general, and fight to the death with the Qin army!"
Encouraged by Cao Shen's spirit of rushing down the mountain himself, the soldiers of the ten thousand Han army, their morale soared, and they rushed down one after another.
"Fire arrows!"
Whoosh whoosh!
When Cao Shen led his men to rush down the mountain, the Qin army fired ten thousand arrows, and a large number of Han soldiers were killed by the arrowheads.
You know, when Xu Da went south, he specially asked for a lot of bows and crossbows from Xu Feng, including a large number of bed crossbows, which were amazingly powerful.
During the charge, Cao Shen was also shot to death by the dense arrows of the Qin army. In the end, half of the ten thousand Han troops were killed, and the other half surrendered.

On the way Xu Feng led the army from Handan to Linzi, he also received news from the system again.
"Congratulations to the host, defeating Han Xin, destroying the main force of the Qi army, making a further step towards reunifying the world, hereby rewarding [-] points.
In addition, a new task was released, within three months, the entire north will be recovered.
Completion, reward [-] points; failure, no penalty. "
Facing the rewards and new tasks issued by the system, Xu Feng did not have much emotional fluctuations.
At this time, Xu Feng's system had accumulated as many as [-] points.
Xu Feng didn't intend to use these points to summon new strategists or generals.
At this time, the situation in Daqin has been settled, and it is only a matter of time before the reunification of the world. Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, and Xu Da are all enough.
Xu Feng wants to keep these points to prepare for his next career.
At the end of June, Xu Feng led the army to the city of Linzi, and at this time the gates of Linzi city were wide open.
Several wealthy families in Linzi city had already taken control of Linzi city at this time, and when they learned that the Qin army was coming, they took the initiative to go out of the city to greet them.
It turned out that after Han Xin was defeated in Handan and fled back to Linzi City, he knew that Linzi City could not be defended by him.
Before the Qin army came over, Han Xin lost control of Linzi City.
In the few days when Han Xin fled back to Linzi City, the news of his defeat naturally came back, which caused an undercurrent to surge in Linzi City.
Many wealthy and aristocratic families in Linzi City acted secretly, preparing to mobilize servants and guards to capture Han Xin and hand them over to the Qin army.
Because, during the two years that Han Xin occupied Linzi, Han Xin severely suppressed the major wealthy families in the city.
This made all the wealthy families in Linzi city hate Han Xin to the core.
In the past, when Han Xin was strong, these wealthy families did not dare to resist and could only accept Han Xin's rule.
But now, Han Xin was defeated in Handan, the main force of the Qi army was lost, and there were not many Qi troops in Linzi City, so these wealthy families no longer feared Han Xin.
Han Xin naturally knew this. On the night of June 23, he led three thousand soldiers who were loyal to him, took away the wealth he had accumulated in Linzi City, and quietly left Linzi City.
At dawn, Han Xin was nowhere to be seen when the rich families in Linzi City found out.
Afterwards, Linzi city was controlled by more than a dozen wealthy families in the city, waiting quietly for the arrival of the Qin army.
On June 29, Xu Feng led the Qin army and arrived at the city of Linzi. Looking at the city of Linzi with its gates wide open, he laughed.
"I will welcome His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor."
At the gate of the city, the heads of several wealthy families shouted respectfully.
"Haha, everyone is welcome."
Linzi, once the capital of Qidi, was also the place where the entire Confucian culture in China was the strongest at this time.
Most of the patriarchs of these wealthy and aristocratic families in the city are Confucian scholars, occupying a strong position in the Confucian school.
Now, in the Great Qin, there are already many Confucian scholars who are officials. For these wealthy families, Xu Feng needs to win over and control Qi as soon as possible.
Therefore, Xu Feng treated the patriarchs of these wealthy families very politely.
Immediately, the Qin army entered the city, and the Qin army captured Linzi City without a single soldier.
"Unfortunately, Han Xin is very slippery, let him run away."
After Xu Feng entered the city, he looked at the largest city in Qi and was very satisfied, but when he thought of Han Xin's disappearance, he felt a pity.
"Your Majesty don't need to worry, even if Han Xin escapes, he has no soldiers and no power in his hands, there is nothing to worry about.
Now, His Majesty needs to find a way to win over these rich and powerful families in Linzi City, so that he can control the whole Qidi as soon as possible. "
Guo Jia was on the side, making a suggestion to Xu Feng.
"Well, I know what Feng Xiao said." Xu Feng nodded.
Therefore, for the next half a month, Xu Feng stayed in Linzi City and did not lead the army to leave.
When Xu Feng was in Linzi City, he met with the patriarchs of the wealthy and aristocratic families every day, explained to them the new policies of Daqin, wins them over, and accepts their allegiance.
Confucian scholars have always been extremely hostile to Great Qin because of the burning of books by the First Emperor to bury Confucian scholars.
Otherwise, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, as outstanding Confucian scholars, would not have assisted Liu Bang in his fight against Qin.
At this time, more than half of the big Confucian families in Qidi were still very hostile to Daqin.
The other half of the Confucian clan is because when the Great Qin reformed the New Deal, they once sent their children from the clan to go to Guanzhong to take the exam to become officials.
From the letters sent back from Guanzhong by the children of their clan, they learned that Daqin's policy towards Confucian scholars had really changed at this time.
This made these big Confucian families change their views on Xu Feng and Da Qin.
In particular, with the defeat of Han Xin, Great Qin has the tendency to reunify the world again, which makes these wealthy Confucian families in Qidi have to weigh in on what they should do in the future.
If Daqin really reunifies the world, if they continue to fight against Daqin, the end will be as miserable as that of the first emperor.
In fact, these Confucian scholars have always been eager to gain the approval of the Great Qin court, and to enter the court as officials like those children of the Legalist school.
Now, since Xu Feng reformed the Great Qin New Deal and reused Confucian scholars, these Confucian clans immediately saw the hope of gaining power.
With this reason, some of the wealthy Confucian families in Qidi had foresight and courage, and quickly expressed their loyalty to Xu Feng.
There are still some stubborn, so Xu Feng doesn't bother to care about them.
It is enough for Xu Feng to have such a group of Confucian clans following him.
As for those stubborn ones, without him doing it, they will be eliminated slowly.
While Xu Feng was in Linzi City, the other Qin armies were not idle either.
Generals of the Qin army, such as Ma Chao and Li You, respectively led their troops to the east and south, and quickly captured the Jiaodong army and Langya County and Jibei County in the south.
Following the news that Han Xin's main force of the Qi army was wiped out by the Qin army in the Battle of Handan, the news spread quickly in Qi.
Most of the officials in the cities of Qidi opened the city gates and surrendered after the Qin army approached the city.
Several officials who were very loyal to Han Xin tried to resist and surrendered in Kaesong.
As a result, before the Qin army outside the city began to attack, the officials in the city were killed overnight, and the city gate was opened wide the next day.
In just half a month, more than 20 cities in Jibei County, Jiaodong County and most of Langya County surrendered to the Qin army.
And Xu Feng was also in Linzi City, and received good news from Xu Da, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong from Ju Ye Ze.
"Haha, Xu Da did a good job."
Seeing the good news sent by Xu Da and the others, Xu Feng was even more delighted while being surprised.
"I originally sent Zilong to lead the army to help Xu Da, hoping that Xu Da would be able to stop Liu Bang's 10,000+ Han army in Zhang County for a longer time.
However, I didn't expect that Xu Da would directly launch a sneak attack that night after Zhao Yun's army arrived, and even let Liu Bang lead the army to withdraw overnight.
Not only beheaded tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han army, but also Liu Bang's general Cao Shen, which is equivalent to cutting off one of Liu Bang's arms! "
Xu Feng said with a smile, this result really surprised him.
"Yeah, Wei Chen didn't expect that either."
Guo Jia also said with a smile.
"Feng Xiao, send an order to Xu Da and Zhao Yun, let them lead the army to attack Xue County, wait for me in Lu County, and I will lead the army south to join them soon.
Tell Ma Chao and Li You to gather troops and set off south to Lucheng two days later. "
"promise."
Guo Jia agreed.
