Battle for hegemony at the end of the Qin Dynasty in the military god system

Chapter 290 Surprise Attack (2)

"General, it's getting late, shall we continue?" Su Jiao, who was wearing heavy armor, walked slowly from the front line to Han Xin, and asked carelessly.

Han Xin smiled slightly, stared at Su Jiao for a moment, and said with a smile: "If you are the main general who attacked the city this time, would you choose to attack the city at this time?"

Su Jiao replied without hesitation: "How is it possible? The casualties during a night siege must be considerable. Ordinary generals would not choose to do this."

"The guard on the opposite side thinks so too." Han Xin replied quietly.Su Jiao frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that this young general is really a bold general who wants to attack at night.Su Jiao didn't think too much, since the army is far superior to the enemy, there is no possibility of defeat at all. Since this general wants to play, let's play with him for the time being!

Han Xin noticed Su Jiao's relaxed expression, and knew that Su Jiao didn't care about Liu Bang who was opposite him at all.

"General Su has fought against this remnant army for some time, so he must have some understanding of their strength. What do you think of the commander of this army?"

Su Jiao thought for a while, and replied intermittently: "The generals of this army have some strength, that is, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping who joined them later have some strength. Our Great Wall Army has suffered several losses at their hands."

"Oh!" Han Xin nodded thoughtfully, touched his chin subconsciously, and said slowly: "It seems that there are still many capable people under Liu Bang, and we can't underestimate them." Then Han Xin seemed to think of it. What, he ordered to Su Jiao: "General Su, quickly inform the siege battalion to surround the county with me. I'm afraid Liu Bang will take advantage of the night to break out. Remember that our main attack direction is the north gate, which is the entrance of the county. The main entrance and the southern side entrance can be properly relaxed."

Su Jiao was also a battle-tested veteran, so he immediately thought of this situation, nodded in response, turned around and ran to the front line.

After Su Jiao left, Han Xin walked back and forth for a few steps, looked at the county town not far away from time to time, and then looked at the map in his hand, and said to Xie Feng beside him: "General Xie, you have 1 People and horses go to the side gate to ambush." ​​Said Han Xin, pointing to the canyon that is [-] miles away from the side gate.

Xie Feng looked at the canyon that Han Xin was pointing at, and asked uncertainly: "General, I know this canyon. I studied the map with General Yingbu before setting off, and found this suitable place for an ambush, but later I asked Shejian General, this canyon is a deserted canyon with few people, even the locals don’t know it very well, Liu Bang and others are all outsiders, so I’m afraid they don’t know about this valley.”

Han Xin waved his hand with a smile, spread out the map in front of Xie Feng, and explained slowly: "Liu Bang is from Pei County, his roots are all in the south, and many generals of Zhang Chujun are from the south. If we say If they want to evacuate, the preferred direction must be the south. I have ordered Su Jiao that the Shejian army will mainly attack the north gate and release water at the south gate appropriately."

"If that's the case, Liu Bang and the others are very likely to break through from the south gate. But why not strengthen the offensive at the south gate? This will not dispel the opponent's desire to break through."

"You're right. We strengthen our offensive against the South Gate. To a certain extent, we can indeed dissuade them from breaking through tonight, but this will turn into a protracted war. Since ancient times, several siege battles have been the most It was tragic and the most time-consuming. We have no more time to lose." Han Xin murmured, looking in the direction of Sha Pojun.

Xie Feng knew why Han Xin said that. Although the Liangshan Army was thriving on the surface, it was in danger in the dark.Xie Feng calmed down, cupped his hands and replied: "This subordinate will definitely complete the general's mission."

Han Xin patted Xie Feng's shoulder, seemed to be very optimistic about Xie Feng, and didn't say any more.

……

After all, Shejian and Su Jiao were professional soldiers, and their siege deployment was very efficient, and they quickly completed the siege of the county. Of course, according to Han Xin's order, they mainly attacked the north gate, and only deployed a small number of troops at the south gate.However, the careful Shejian still left a hand at the south gate, and deliberately set up [-] sword shield soldiers behind the south gate as an ambush.

Although Su Jiao disagreed somewhat, but out of prudence, he agreed to Shejian's arrangement.

The war was about to break out, and the huge stones thrown by the trebuchets of the Liangshan Army smashed on the city wall of Zhang Chujun, making a loud noise, and the siege vehicles also slowly drove towards the county seat.

Liu Bang, standing on the city wall, loudly ordered the soldiers to deal with the Liangshan army's attack.For a while, there was chaos on the city wall.

With the stalemate of the war, Zhou Bo, his beloved general, couldn't stand Liu Bang's command. He walked up to him and shouted at Liu Bang: "My lord, it's dangerous here, leave it to me!" Zhou Bo didn't I'm ashamed to say, don't make trouble here, just go away and let me do it.

However, Liu Bang, who has just entered the role, is on the rise, so he would not pay attention to Zhou Bo's dissuasion. He only thought that Zhou Bo was worried about his safety, so he turned his head and replied solemnly: "All the soldiers are fighting bloody battles. As the lord, there is no way to avoid the battle." Reason. General Zhou, don’t say anything like this in the future.”

Zhou Bo really wanted to explain that you are not a conductor, but a troublemaker.But he is only a courtier, and he still can't say such words.I am really entangled. If Liu Bang is allowed to continue to mess around like this, let alone guard it all night, I am afraid that the city will fall before dawn.In desperation, Zhou Bo thought that the only person in the army who could persuade Liu Bang was Zhang Liang.Looking around, he finally found Zhang Liang at the other corner of the city wall.

Zhang Liang was discussing with Chen Ping about breaking out of the siege at night, because the Qin army's sudden siege disrupted their plan, and now it is really necessary to consider whether to choose to break out of the siege at night.

Zhou Bo didn't care about Liu Bang who was having a good time, and walked towards Zhang Liang. Before reaching Zhang Liang, Zhou Bo shouted: "Ovary, ovary!"

Zhang Liang turned his head to look in the direction of the person coming, and asked with a smile: "General Zhou, didn't you accompany the lord to command the battle in front of the tower?"

"Oh! Don't mention it!" Zhou Bo sighed.

Both Zhang Liang and Chen Ping looked at Zhou Bo in amazement. Could it be that the enemy army has already attacked the tower? This is too fast!
Zhou Bo ignored the doubts of the two, and said slowly: "Our lord, asking him to lead the army to defend the city is a bit embarrassing for him. You didn't see that our army was in chaos under his command. We persuaded him to come down, but he I want to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers."

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping burst out laughing. Seeing Zhou Bo's bitter face, the two of them had deep understanding, but they were not worried about the safety of their lord, because if there was any danger, their lord would be the first to desert.

Zhang Liang put his arms around Zhou Bo and said with a smile: "Let the matter of persuading the lord be left to us counsellors! General Zhou, we should prepare to break out at night. We only have one chance, if we fail, we will be benevolent."
