Chapter 1688: Trapped in a cocoon (Part 2)
The situation at this time can be said to be extremely critical. If you are not careful, the overall situation will deteriorate. It is the time when Han Xin's decision is most needed, but Han Xin's heart is in a mess, like a headless fly.
“What to do, what to do?”
Looking at Han Xin who was pacing and still thinking, Jushu said anxiously: "My lord, please give the order to expel the Qin army."
“But if that’s the case, wouldn’t it mean that the ambush would be a complete failure if we didn’t attack ourselves?” Han Xin said with a tangled look on his face.
Jushou's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his master would say such dizzy words. Is this still the wise and powerful King of Han? Isn't it a disguise?
At this thought, Jushou's eyes became sharp. He stepped forward and rubbed Han Xin's face, but he didn't find any signs of disguise, and he couldn't help but become more confused.
Han Xin pushed Jushu away and shouted angrily: "Strategic Advisor, what are you doing?"
Han Xin had never been treated like this before. If it hadn't been for Ju Shou, he would have just cut him down with a sword.
Seeing this tone and demeanor, Jushou was sure that the person in front of him was his lord, but why was there such a huge contrast?
How did Jushou know that it was because of Zhang Liang and Guo Jia's double wisdom halo that Han Xin became such a dull person.
Jushou had no time to think or explain, so he quickly said: "Lord, our intention has been seen through by Bai Qi. The ambush plan can no longer succeed. The top priority now is to expel the Qin army from the city first. Once the east gate is completely captured, everything will happen." It’s too late.”
Han Xin, whose mind was in a state of confusion, had no idea what to do. When he heard Ju Shou's words, his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he quickly said: "Yes, yes, the military advisor is right."
Since Han Xin dared to open the city gate and let the Qin army in, he would naturally be fully prepared.
After the Qin army entered the city this time, they did not attack the prefect's mansion. Instead, they chose to attack the city tower. Although it was not part of the plan, as the city was well prepared, there was no problem in driving the Qin army out of the city, but casualties were likely. It's going to be bigger.
Han Xin, who was awakened by Ju Shou, suddenly became clear-headed and quickly ordered: "Zhang He, you will command to remove the ambush circle and move all the kerosene to the east gate.
If the Qin army continues to advance into the city, they will immediately light a fire and use a wall of fire to prevent the Qin army from advancing. "
)
After Zhang He shouted loudly, he clasped his fists and left. Han Xin continued to give orders: "Zhang Kui and Nangong Changwan, you two each bring an army of soldiers and horses, one on the left and one on the right, to block the Qin army at the east gate first. Reinforcements will be coming soon.
By the way, capture the traitor Yuan Shang to my king. "
)
“Chen Qi, Zheng Lun, Gao Ming, where is Gao Jue?” Han Xin shouted.
Chen Qi and other four generals stood up together and responded: "Where is the last general?"
“Chen Qi and Zheng Lun, you two each command five thousand spearmen and build a spear formation at the east gate.
Gao Ming and Gao Jue, each of you will lead three thousand strong crossbowmen and set up the crossbow formation behind the spear formation. "
Han Xin has regained his wisdom and said calmly: "After the formation of the guns and crossbows is ready, you will gradually advance after receiving my order, squeezing the Qin army's living space bit by bit until the Qin army is completely defeated." Until they are kicked out.”

【Han Xin's skill 'Bing Xian' effect 3 is activated, the military force of the entire army will be +2, and the combat power and morale of the entire army will be increased...
Yuan Hong’s basic force is 108, his equipment is +2, and his current force has increased to 112;
Zhang Kui’s basic force is 106, equipment +2, and the current force has increased to 110;
Nangong Changwan’s basic force is 105, equipment +2, and the current force has increased to 109;
Zhang He’s military force…]
The most correct orders were issued in an orderly manner from Han Xin's mouth. After a brief panic, the defenders in the city suddenly seemed to have a backbone, and they all cheered up to resist the Qin army.
There were nearly ten thousand defenders at the east gate of Ye City. Except for Yuan Lin, who was in charge of the city gate, and his subordinate Yuan Shang, the other defenders did not rebel.
After the Qin army launched an attack on the east gate, the defenders of the east gate automatically launched a counterattack. It's just that the Qin army not only attacked the tower from inside the city, but also had large troops outside the city attacking the city.
Under attack from both inside and outside, it was naturally difficult for the city gate defenders to resist, and they were quickly defeated, allowing the Qin army to occupy a large area on the city tower.
"kill…"
After Xue Rengui shouted violently, he swiped his hand violently. The four enemy soldiers in front of him vomited blood and flew away. He shouted and ordered: "The whole army, be careful, don't be reluctant to fight, put all the defensive equipment, They were all burned by me.”
"yes."
After receiving the order, the soldiers poured kerosene directly onto the catapult, and then lit it with a torch. An expensive catapult was burned.
Not only Xue Rengui, but also other city defense equipment on the east gate tower were burned to varying degrees by the Qin army, and this is where Zhang Liang's real brilliance lies.
Han Xin had already been prepared, and there were still 120,000 defenders in the city. Therefore, even if the Qin army entered the city, it would be difficult to completely capture Ye City in a night battle.
But if you attack the city tower and burn the defensive equipment, the situation is different.
Without the assistance of such city defense equipment, the defensive power of the city tower will drop to freezing point. Only a bare city wall will be left. How can it stop the Qin army with all kinds of siege equipment? It will be easy to capture Yecheng by then.
"kill…"
Under the protection of hundreds of people, Yuan Shang continued to attack the defenders of the city tower, and even killed five soldiers with his own hands.
Although the number of troops controlled by Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi is not as large as that of their eldest brother Yuan Tan, who has the support of most generals, the total number of pro-army troops is nearly 15,000. However, they are all stationed in the Xicheng camp. It would be too easy to expose them if they are transferred rashly. , so neither brother used his own troops.
According to the plan, after the city gate is opened, Yuan Shang's troops in the west city will also cause chaos in the city in response to the east gate.
But the fact is that there has been no movement at all so far, which gave Yuan Shang a sudden bad feeling.
The rebellion led by Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi was naturally suppressed by Han Xin. Before the army could leave the camp, it was blocked by Yuan Tan at the entrance of the camp. Then with the defenders killed, the entire army marched towards Yuan Tan. Tan surrendered.
“Major General, it’s bad, Zhang Kui and Nangong Changwan are coming to kill us.”
“What? How could it be so fast?”
Yuan Shang's face was full of disbelief. After all, the Qin army had just entered not long ago. The coalition forces reacted so quickly. This can only mean that Han Xin must have been prepared!
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Shang's eyes were full of panic, and he quickly said: "Quick, move closer to the Qin army."
Yuan Shang's reaction was not unpleasant, but Zhang Kui's movement was even faster.
Seeing that Yuan Shang was about to run towards the Qin army, Zhang Kui abandoned the army and rode into Yuan Shang's guard alone.
“Major General, let’s go quickly...”
Yuan Lin, who betrayed Yuan Xi and turned to Yuan Shang, was killed by Zhang Kui before he finished speaking.
The loyal guards who protected the lord all tried their best to kill Zhang Kui, but they could not stop Zhang Kui in the slightest, and they rushed directly in front of Yuan Shang as if they were in an uninhabited land.
“Yuan Shang, where are we going?”
After Zhang Kui shouted loudly, he slashed out with the big knife in his hand.
[Zhang Kui’s skill ‘Sword God’ is activated, his force +4, and his current force rises to 114. 】
Yuan Shang was shocked when he saw this, and subconsciously swung his sword to block, but the sword in his hand broke immediately, and then a big knife hung in front of his neck.
“Yuan Shang, if my lord hadn’t captured you alive, you would be a dead man now.” Zhang Kui said coldly.
I haven’t exercised for almost two months. I went to the gym at noon today. After I came out, I felt like half my life was gone. It took me a long time to recover, and I also lost precious coding time.
Today I was originally preparing for the fourth update, but now it seems that the third update may be enough.
