After some simple testing, Han Xin discovered that under the leadership of the old emperor, although the morale of the Forbidden Army had not returned to its peak state, it was no longer at their mercy like before!
Moreover, after learning the previous lessons, this time, the old emperor guarded closely and no longer left any loopholes for Han Xin. The method of breaking through the second battalion would definitely not work again!
After the tricks played by the second and fifth battalions, they had to fight a bloody battle above the eighth battalion. Of course, no one can always take advantage of the situation, and no one can always go through tough battles.
Early the next morning, Han Xin summoned all the generals and went to the eighth battalion to prepare for the attack.
Under the command of Han Xin, a phalanx of catapults, crossbows, wells, shields and other siege equipment were arranged in an orderly manner in front of the eighth battalion.
Han Xin stared at the 8th Battalion in the distance, slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted: "Attack."
"kill……"
A siege team composed of two thousand sword and shield fighters rushed directly towards the camp. At the same time, there were crossbows, arrows and flying rocks to cover their attack.
On the Forbidden Army side, Huangfu Yue saw that Han Xin was attacking, so he commanded the defense not to be outdone.
For a time, a large number of arrows, stones, and rolling logs were continuously projected down from the mountain.
"Xuanyuan Zhang Hui, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci, Limu, you and other five people are responsible for shooting the enemy!"
Again, due to terrain restrictions, their siege troops could not deploy on a large scale. However, it was impossible to accommodate too many defenders on the enemy's camp wall at the same time.
Last time, several archer generals and the soldiers who were good at shooting in the previous part of the army were enough to cause a large number of casualties to the defenders on the camp wall.
Although the enemy army also has four archery masters, Lu Bu, Zhong Limo, Ding Que, and Yu Fengsheng, their quality is much higher than theirs.
However, the task given by Han Xin to the four of them was not to compete with the four masters of archery, Lu Bu, Zhongli Mo, Ding Que, and Yu Fengsheng. It was just to let them attack ordinary enemy soldiers!
Therefore, as long as they can be more careful, they can still do the things Han Xin has assigned them while ensuring their own safety.
Moreover, not to mention they still have a numerical advantage here!
"General Han, do you need me to take action?" the general headed by Nangong Qixing asked.
After all, if there are so many powerful generals from the Forbidden Army, even if their soldiers are lucky enough to climb the enemy's camp wall, they will be killed or driven down by the enemy immediately.
It cannot be spread out on the battlefield. It seems that both sides have a large number of troops, but there are not many troops that can participate in the battle at the same time. In this small-scale battle, the role that the generals can play is terrifying.
Basically, a strong general can help the defenders defend a small section of the city wall intact.
Even Han Xin, if he didn't set up any strategic traps in advance, would have absolutely no chance of victory in a small-scale battle with a master like Lu Shenmo with two or three thousand people.
Therefore, Nangong Qixing and many other powerful generals of the coalition forces had no choice but to step forward at this time. If they don't involve the energy of those enemy generals, they will have no hope of defeating the enemy in a short time.
Even Han Xin could not reverse the enemy's advantage in strong generals on such a small-scale local battlefield.
"No rush, it's not time for the generals to take action yet!" Han Xin responded to several generals while giving orders to the soldiers and horses attacking the city in a hurry.
"General Han, why is this? If we join the attack together, the offensive will be even stronger." Yang Jian asked with a puzzled look on his face.
】
"Generals, don't be in a hurry. When the generals are needed, Xin will naturally not be polite." Han Xin said with a smile.
With so many powerful generals participating in a critical battle together, their offensive will indeed be faster, and much faster.
However, just saying this will not have a fundamental effect. After all, if there are so many enemy generals watching, their generals may not be able to climb the camp wall easily. Even if they climb up, they will be driven down immediately by the other party's joint efforts.
In fact, what Han Xin carried out at this time was not a clever tactic, it was just a stupid method that most generals would use in tough battles, consumption, to consume the enemy's troops and energy through strong attacks.
When the enemy's troops are exhausted to a certain extent by them, when the enemy's troops are exhausted by them, they will naturally have a chance to defeat the enemy.
Huangfuyue was in the eighth battalion. The total number of troops and horses was small, but how many troops and horses could Han Xin command? Even if the batch around him is exhausted, then Han Xin can bring up another batch from behind!
Therefore, if the two sides compete for consumption, Han Xin can afford it. Even if one person replaces the other three, Han Xin has enough confidence to replace all the soldiers and horses in the eighth battalion.
And Huangfu Yue, no matter how much troops and horses the Eighth Battalion consumes, he still doesn't dare to easily withdraw troops from among the others. At most, he doesn't dare to withdraw too many troops. Removed on a small scale within the scope.
If Huangfuyue draws too much, once the other camps fall into a state of emptiness, Han Xin will only have more opportunities!
Therefore, Han Xin's initial tactic was consumption.
The eighth battalion has been depleted of more troops, and the old emperor should be more and more anxious! A person is more likely to make mistakes only when he is anxious, especially those who are smart. If the enemy makes no mistakes, where will Han Xin find the enemy's flaws?
Moreover, Han Xin was planning to repeat his old tricks against the old prince, using the same tactics he used against Chu Xizhao!
The old emperor and Chu Xizhao are completely different. Although they are both old men, and even the old emperor is much older, Han Xin cannot be self-righteous and compete with the old emperor for physical exertion, even with Xuanyuan Huang as his help. Same goes for wearing.
However, you don't dare to compete with the opponent through physical exertion, but you can compete with the opponent through mental exertion. Mental exertion is no easier than physical exertion. Even mental exertion can make a person feel more tired and powerless than physical exertion.
This does not mean that because the old emperor is strong, he can keep his brain running at a high speed. Han Xin was confident that when he and Xuanyuan Huang took turns commanding the battle, sooner or later the old prince would be unable to keep up with their rhythm.
And if you want to achieve this goal, early consumption is definitely indispensable.
