Chapter 1687: Trapped in a cocoon (Part 1)

 [Han Xin’s skill ‘Soldier Immortal’ has effect 4 activated, which can protect his generals from being affected by negative skills.

 Tian Feng’s intelligence is restored to 98;

 Jushou’s intelligence is restored to 97;

Xunkan’s intelligence is restored to 96;

 Zhang He…

　　Yuan Hong…]

The blessing effect of Han Xin’s skill ‘Bingxian’ (Effect 4) is still lagging behind Qin Hao’s ‘Destiny’.

 The effect of Han Xin's "Soldier Immortal" can protect all the generals under his command, but it cannot protect himself. However, it is precisely Han Xin, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, who is currently the one who needs to restore his intelligence the most.

After all, if even the chess players are stupid, then no matter how good the position of the chess pieces is, the game will still be lost.

Both Yuan Shang and Han Xin were eager for the Qin army to enter the city. The Qin army did come, but they did not come in. Instead, they stopped at the city gate.

On the city tower, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were confused when they saw that the Qin army had not entered the city.

“Third brother, why doesn’t the Qin army come in? Does this mean you still don’t believe us?” Yuan Xi asked doubtfully.

"I do not know."

Yuan Shang also frowned and said doubtfully: "Perhaps they are waiting for the follow-up troops to catch up before entering the city together?"

At the same time, Han Xin also received news that the Qin army did not enter the city, but stopped at the gate of the city.

"how so?"

Han Xin frowned. He did not expect that the Qin army not only did not enter the city, but stopped at the city gate.

Jushou glanced at Han Xin doubtfully. With his lord's intelligence, he should be able to see through such a simple matter at a glance. Why did he look like he had drunk fake wine?

 Maybe it’s because I’ve been under too much pressure lately!

Jushou did not think much and immediately explained: "My lord, the reason why the Qin army stopped at the city gate is that Bai Qi must have realized that my lord, you have discovered Yuan Shang's plan, and the city is where we set up for him." trap."

After hearing this, Han Xin thought for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "If Bai Qi notices it, it will be difficult to trick him into entering the city. But with his temperament, even if he knows that there are traps in Ye City, I am afraid he will never do it. If he gave up this opportunity, he would resort to tricks and attack Yecheng in one fell swoop.

If the king guessed correctly, Bai Qi must have come to the east gate in the dark, but secretly wanted to seize the weak west gate.

 Fortunately, I have been prepared and transferred General Yuan Hong to the west gate in advance, otherwise I might have been caught off guard. "

Zhang Liang’s guess was correct, and Han Xin had also expected it in advance. Bai Qi might have guessed that he saw through Yuan Shang’s intention, so he had arranged other back-up plans in advance.

What Han Xin didn't expect was that in front of Zhang Liang, who had an intelligence of 104, and Guo Jia, who had an intelligence of 102, his little thoughts would not be able to hide, and they were basically exposed in front of Bai Qi.

Just when Han Xin thought that Bai Qi was going to attack the east and west, the Qin army outside the east city suddenly took action.

Xue Rengui pointed the halberd directly at the city gate and shouted: "Enter the city."

"kill…"

Xue Rengui led a large number of Qin troops into the city gate and charged into the city.

After passing through the city gate, Xue Rengui looked at the empty surroundings and the stairs to the city tower not far away. He smiled coldly and said: "Go up to the city tower."

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi on the city tower were relieved when they saw this. After all, if the Qin army did not enter Yecheng, when the defenders in the city reacted, the two of them would be unable to eat and walk away.

"The next step is to lead the Qin army to capture the prefect's mansion..." Before Yuan Xi could finish speaking, a sharp sword suddenly pierced his chest from behind.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but widen his eyes, turned around with difficulty, and looked at Yuan Shang with eyes full of anger and confusion.

Yuan Xi clutched Yuan Shang's collar and asked with great difficulty: "Third brother, why, why?"

Yuan Shang, who killed his brother with his own hands, felt uncomfortable at this time, but he still said coldly: "There is only one Duke Zhao, but we have two brothers."

Hearing this, Yuan Xi's eyes were full of bitterness. He really couldn't believe that his biological brother wanted to kill him just for this reason.

Yuan Xi endured the pain and smiled bitterly: "Second brother, I have never thought about arguing with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Xi breathed his last and was completely dead.

Of Yuan Shao's three sons, the third, Yuan Shang, is the most favored, while the second, Yuan Xi, is not favored, so the heir will only be between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and the second, Yuan Xi, has almost no hope.

Yuan Xi also knew that it was impossible for him to succeed to the throne, so he did not have extravagant expectations from the beginning, and he was the least ambitious among the three brothers. He originally planned to assist the third brother after overthrowing the eldest brother, but he did not expect that he would eventually die in the third brother's arms. Yuan Shang's hands.

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this. He felt like he wanted to cry but couldn't.

Yuan Shang felt extremely regretful at this time, but he had already killed everyone, so even if he regretted it now, it was too late.

Yuan Shang walked to Yuan Xi's body, pulled out the long sword stuck on the body, and whispered softly: "Second brother, don't blame third brother. If you want to blame, blame yourself. Why didn't you tell me these words in advance. "

Yuan Shang forced himself to be cold. After taking care of Yuan Xi's body, he immediately prepared to lead the way for the Qin army entering the city.

"this…"

Yuan Shang couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing the situation below the city. Although he knew little about military affairs, he also knew that something was obviously wrong with the Qin army's march route.

"Why did the Qin army come to attack the city tower instead of attacking the prefect's mansion?"

Yuan Shang was a little confused about the intentions of the Qin army. When he was confused, he discovered that a large number of siege equipment appeared outside the city. It was obvious that he wanted to use both internal and external forces to completely capture the east gate in one fell swoop.

 “Report...to inform my lord that the Qin army has entered the city.”

"Um?"

Han Xin couldn't help but frown slightly. Didn't Bai Qi already discover it? He knew there was a trap at the east gate, so why did he dare to send a large army into the city?

"Did Bai Qi not notice it because I was overthinking it?" Han Xin thought to himself.

"However, after the Qin army entered the city, they did not go deep into the city. Instead, they went to attack the tower."

"What?"

Han Xin and Jushou screamed at the same time.

In a siege battle, once you attack the city, you generally won't worry about the enemy troops on the city tower. After all, there are still enemy resistance forces in the city. Only when all the leaders are captured can the war be considered completely over. Therefore, the top priority must be to attack the prefect's mansion.

However, the Qin army did the opposite. After entering Yecheng, instead of attacking the prefect's mansion, they attacked the city tower first. Apparently they knew there was an ambush ahead, so they deliberately did not go forward and attacked the city instead. The door is gone.

I have to say that this behavior of picking up sesame seeds but throwing away watermelons is indeed more deadly to Han Xin now, and the Qin army’s subsequent moves obviously don’t stop there.

The third update is here, and there are still eight chapters left...

Thanks to the 10,000 starting coins rewarded by Meng who doesn’t understand nature, I’ve added another chapter and still owe nine chapters, so I’m back to the starting point.
