The sky is just bright.
After the rain, the sky clears, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth.
Zhao Hao woke up from the bed. His mind was still confused. He only heard someone say: "Sir, are you awake?"
"Um?"
When Zhao Hao heard this voice, his heart was shocked, and he immediately realized that it was Mond's voice.
Neither he nor Mond was dead, so he must have broken through the encirclement.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. When he looked at Mond, he saw that his chest and right arm were covered with wound cloth. He frowned and asked in a low voice: "Where is this?"
"Chencang."
Mond replied.
"Then Han Xin and the others..."
"We are all alive! It was Captain Guo who saved us!"
really!
The master is indeed here!
How did he know I was in danger? Could it be that his senior sister informed him?
As expected, senior sister will not ignore her classmates!
"Where is my master?" Zhao Hao continued to ask.
Mond replied: "I went to move the reinforcements myself!"
"That Xiang Yu and the others..."
"Report——the rebels have arrived at the city!"
Before Zhao Hao could finish his question, a warning sound suddenly came from the door.
Zhao Hao and Meng looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
At this time, under Chencang City.
Xiang Yu was riding a horse, holding an iron halberd in his hand, pointing at Zhao Hao on the wall of Chencang, and yelled: "Zhao Hao, son, Han Xin can't protect you, open the city gate quickly, and you will die quickly!"
"Child Zhao Hao, come out and die quickly!"
Tens of thousands of rebels shouted in unison, deafeningly loud, as if there were tens of thousands of them, especially arrogant.
But no one at the top of the city responded to them.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu continued to shout: "Han Xin, the dog thief, comes out to fight if he has the ability, but Zhao Hao, my son, doesn't come out and die..."
"Heads in the city, how dare you be killed by me?"
"Hahaha--!"
The whole city burst into laughter.
Not long after, Zhao Hao led a group of people to the city wall. Seeing Xiang Yu being so arrogant, he couldn't help but frown.
Why...there are suddenly fewer people?
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
At that moment, Yang Duanhe couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily:
"This is unreasonable, Young Master, let me bring a thousand people to fight with him for a while!"
Wuya echoed: "I'll go with you!"
He knew that Yang Duanhe was not Xiang Yu's opponent, so he wanted to help Yang Duanhe.
Even if Xiang Yu cannot be defeated, Yang Duanhe's life can be saved and his morale can be improved.
But Han Xin raised his hand to stop them: "Wait a minute!"
"Um?"
Yang Duan and the other two were stunned and looked at Han Xin with confusion.
Mond and others also looked back.
They knew that Han Xin was resourceful and good at leading troops, so they listened silently.
But Han Xin shook his head seriously: "It is not appropriate to go out of the city to fight at this time!"
"Why?"
Yang Duan and the two of them were puzzled.
Han Xin solemnly explained: "Xiang Yu's men are all infantry and cavalry and have no siege weapons. This is also the reason why he does not attack the city forcibly because of his superior strength. If you rush out of the city to fight, you will play into his hands."
"Does Lieutenant Han have any countermeasures?" Yang Duanhe asked.
Han Xin glanced at him and sighed: "We fell into their trick before and thought there were fifty or sixty thousand people. Now it seems that there are only twenty thousand people at most. Of these twenty thousand people, Xiang Yu only brought ten thousand." Man, where did the rest of them go?”
"this……"
Yang Duanhe looked ashamed when he heard this.
It was he who told Han Xin that there were 50,000 to 60,000 rebels, and Han Xin believed it. He missed the opportunity to counterattack, switched offense to defense, and fell into the current situation step by step.
"You mean, Meng De led a part of the rebels to block our way?" Zhao Hao suddenly said.
Han Xin glanced at him and said thoughtfully:
"We have only two retreats, one is to join His Majesty, the other is to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. Now that Xiang Yu is blocked here, we can only stand firm and wait for rescue;
Xiang Yu is a general. He couldn't have imagined that if my guess is correct, Meng De should have led a part of the rebels and blocked the Zhouzhi River Crossing, making it impossible to return to Xianyang. "
"oh?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Yang Duanhe nodded and agreed:
"This inference is reasonable. If it were me, I would definitely arrange it this way. Whether it is 10,000 or 20,000 people, we will have an advantage."
In fact, Mond also felt that Han Xin's analysis was reasonable, but...
Mond wondered: "We have less than 4,000 people now. Including the defenders of Chencang County, there are only more than 5,000 people. How can we face the enemy?"
"If the difference is only in numbers, five thousand versus ten thousand, there may not be a chance of winning, but with ten thousand people against Xiang Yu, it is really difficult to win."
Han Xin said truthfully.
Everyone looked at each other, looking at each other.
At this time, Zhao Hao asked coldly: "If I have a way to hold Xiang Yu back, do you have a way to deal with Meng De?"
"Um?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, wondering who Zhao Hao was talking to.
But Zhao Hao turned his attention to Han Xin.
Han Xin narrowed his eyes and frowned: "What do you mean, Master?"
"Nothing else, I just want to know Xiang Yu. Doesn't he want to kill me? Then let him kill me!"
"Ah? This..."
Hearing Zhao Hao's words, everyone was suddenly startled and looked at Zhao Hao in confusion.
The Chencang County Magistrate was even more frightened and quickly dissuaded him: "Young master, please don't fall into danger!"
"Noisy!"
Zhao Hao interrupted him impatiently, and then stared at Han Xin: "If I support Xiang Yu, do you have a way to deal with Meng De?"
"this……"
Han Xin hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "How many troops and horses do you plan to give Han Xin?"
"How much do you want?" Zhao Hao asked in a funny tone.
Han Xin hesitated for a moment and replied seriously: "Of course, the more, the merrier!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Hao laughed for no reason, thinking that it was you who was really Han Xin's leader, the more the merrier!
But since you want it, I'll give it to you.
After suppressing his laughter, Zhao Hao reached out and patted Han Xin's butt under the strange looks of everyone, and said seriously: "I will hand over all five thousand troops and horses to you, are you sure?"
What? !
Everyone was shocked when they heard Zhao Hao's words.
Everyone looked at him like a madman, Yang Duanhe said in disbelief:
"Sir, if you hand over five thousand soldiers and horses to Han Xin, how will you defend the city? Even if you abandon the city and run away, no one will dare to blame you, so why order like this? Isn't this putting yourself in danger?"
Mond and others nodded repeatedly, while Han Xin remained silent.
Because Yang Duanhe was telling the truth, even he did not dare to guard an empty city and face Xiang Yu.
If Xiang Yu attacks, he will abandon the city and flee without hesitation. This is not a deserter, but a tactical retreat.
However, Zhao Hao smiled slightly: "You can retreat because you are generals and ministers. I am different from you. I cannot retreat because I am the son of the First Emperor. If I retreat, where will the Emperor's face be? ?”
"But young master..."
Yang Duanhe still said with some confusion: "You know it is a dead end, why would you risk your life for a moment of integrity? Even if His Majesty is here, he will recognize the young master!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "General Yang is overly worried. Who said I will die? It's just Xiang Yu. I haven't taken him seriously yet. He doesn't dare to attack the city just by standing on the wall!"
Yang Duanhe: "..."
Han Xin: "..."
Everyone: "..."
At this moment, everyone was completely speechless.
God, please strike him to death with lightning! You can really pretend!
This is no longer crazy, this is simply crazy! And he is a fool who is pretending to be cool to the point of risking his life!
Could it be...does he have any other tricks up his sleeve?
Or is he just pretending to be cool in front of us, waiting for us to leave, and then abandoning the city and running away?
If that's the case, then this operation is too cool.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Zhao Hao.
Of course, Zhao Hao did not expect them to think this way, and still stubbornly asked Han Xin: "Han Xin, do you dare to accept the order?"
"Since the young master is so confident, Han Xin will not give in!"
Han Xin's eyes narrowed and he held his hand directly towards Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao nodded with a smile, took out the tiger talisman that had not been handed over to Ying Zheng from his arms, and said loudly: "Pass my order, Han Xin is the general of the army, and all arms are at his disposal!"
As soon as this statement came out, military orders were like a mountain, and no one dared to dissuade him.
Han Xin immediately started to make plans, but Xiang Yu below the city was still shouting and cursing.
He wanted to face off with Han Xin openly, and Han Xin did what he wanted.
But what he didn't expect was that Han Xin didn't look like a general, but like a juggler.
That night!
Han Xin led Heijia into Lidi above Mei County.
When the army was marching twenty miles away from Li Di, news of the rebels came from the front. He immediately ordered the march to stop and let the black armors rest early.
In the middle of the night, Han Xin asked Yang Duanhe to lead the remaining two thousand light cavalry. The horses' legs were wrapped in linen, and they set off secretly and advanced quickly.
A black flag was distributed to each person, and they were ordered to pass through Mei County and arrive near the mouth of Zhouzhi River Ferry first.
Before approaching the mouth of Zhouzhi River Crossing, take the trail and ambush on the hill on the right side of the road.
Before leaving, Han Xin said to Yang Duanhe: "When you see the rebels coming out of the camp, go and capture their rear camp."
These two thousand light cavalry will play a decisive role for him.
Outside Li Di is the Wei River.
A last-ditch battle is about to take place.
When it was almost dawn, Han Xin ordered the soldiers again:
"After annihilating the rebels today, Master Hao is willing to reward you with five million yuan!"
Everyone was puzzled, thinking that this battle has not been fought yet, why is Han Weiwei so confident?
However, if you can get a reward of five million yuan, risking your life is worth it.
You must know that although they are black armor guards guarding the palace, their status is higher than that of the general Qin army, and their treatment is even better than that of the imperial army, but in fact they do not have much income at all except their annual salary.
And the so-called annual salary is not money, but just food.
As Qin unified the six kingdoms, people in the capital were no longer satisfied with food and clothing, but pursued the enjoyment of the victors.
If you want to enjoy it, you have to have money.
Therefore, money is more tempting to them than food.
In fact, not only ancient soldiers worked hard for money, but modern soldiers also went to the battlefield to fight for a few pieces of ocean.
Fighting with hot weapons is much more dangerous than cold weapons, and you may die in just a few seconds.
However, there are still people who are eager to get those few pieces of ocean.
When these black armors heard that there was a reward, they didn't care about it and followed the orders one after another.
The army began to march towards Lidikou.
After leaving Lidikou, Han Xin once again ordered a thousand black armor to cross the Wei River and then form an array with their backs to the water.
Seeing Han Xin's arrangement, the black-armored troops were very confused. Wouldn't they divide the money after defeating the rebels?
If we set up the formation like this, we will fall into the river before we get the money.
Why don't we confront them across the river? This small number of people is not enough to fill their teeth. We should continue to cross the river and let them chase us!
Although the soldiers were a little confused, Han Xin's army unity began to work here.
To him, everything in the world is a prop, including the Weishui River behind him.
Because before leaving, Zhao Hao took out the Tiger Talisman and gave them death orders. Even though they didn't understand Han Xin's arrangements, they still obeyed Han Xin's arrangements.
After Heijia crossed the river, Meng De and others couldn't help laughing after seeing Han Xin arrayed like this. They thought Han Xin was at the end of his rope and prepared to fight to the death.
Then they simply stood still and waited for all the black armor to cross the river.
This is Han Xin's first step, arrogant soldier.
After forming up in black armor, Han Xin began to lead his main force across the river calmly.
Because Han Xin had calculated that Meng De would not stop him and wanted to annihilate him, so as long as he did not appear, Meng De would not take action.
After all the black armors crossed the river, Han Xin had no intention of stopping, nor did he join up with the thousand vanguard troops. Instead, he personally went out to the Mengde camp and formed a formation to fight.
When Meng De saw Han Xin coming to die, he directly ordered his army to attack the Heijia who was waiting for him.
More than 10,000 rebels and about 2,000 black armors started a head-on battle.
At the beginning, Heijia and the rebels were fighting hard, because Heijia was the elite of the Qin army, and most of the rebels were local soldiers and county soldiers, with insufficient combat power.
However, due to the superior strength of the rebels, Heijia was killed and retreated steadily, even the military flag fell down.
The black armor kept fighting and talking, and reached the Wei River. The thousand vanguard troops who were positioned behind the water rushed out at this time and killed Meng De's army by surprise.
Mengde became angry and ordered the vanguard to be hunted down.
The key to this last-ditch battle is buffering.
With this buffer, Han Xin's main force did not fall into the river due to the pursuit of Meng De's army.
At this time, Han Xin gathered all the black armor and shouted loudly by the river: "There is no retreat, why don't all the armies fight hard?"
As soon as these words came out, Heijia, who originally thought he would die, suddenly became energetic and fought with the rebels risklessly.
While the two were fighting fiercely, the generals in Meng De's army saw that Han Xin's defeat was certain, so they quickly left the camp and surrounded and suppressed them from the flanks.
At this time, the turning point of the war appeared. Just as Meng De's army came out in full force, Yang Duan and the cavalry who were ambushing in the hills on the road quickly rushed into the camp.
Soon, the Mengde camp was completely occupied by Yang Duanhe. The soldiers quickly removed the rebel flags and replaced them with black armor and black flags.
At this moment, the black armor by the Wei River burst out with astonishing fighting power, and everyone rushed to kill them desperately.
The rebels who had the upper hand began to have doubts about how they could push them closer to the Wei River and drown them alive.
Mengde, who had been fighting for a long time, saw this situation and felt that the goal of annihilating Han Xin was difficult to achieve, so he ordered to stop the attack, and the rear army became the front army and slowly retreated to the camp.
However, at this moment, when they came outside the camp, all they saw were black armor and black flags. Yang Duanhe shouted loudly from the high platform of the camp; "Xiang Yu is dead, and the rebels have been wiped out. You can't wait. Captured without mercy?!"
As soon as this statement came out, the rebels' morale was immediately in chaos.
At the same time, Han Xin led the remaining black armor and rushed over to meet Yang Duan in Mengde's camp. They attacked from two fronts and Mengde's army was in chaos.
When Xiang Yu learned of Meng De's defeat, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Knowing that he had fallen into the trap of an empty city, he couldn't help but became angry and ordered an attack on the city.
"Come in and capture Zhao Hao alive. I'm going to cut him into pieces!"
"Report——!"
Xiang Yu's order had just been issued when a rebel general hurried over: "Major General Qi, a large number of Qin troops have appeared behind us. Looking at their flags, they seem to be Iron Eagle Guards!"
"Iron Eagle Guard?"
Xiang Yu was slightly startled, and his heart suddenly sank.
He naturally knew that the Iron Eagle Guards were Ying Zheng's pro-soldiers. Now that the Iron Eagle Guards appeared behind him, wouldn't that mean that Ying Zheng was here?
It’s the last two days. Readers who have monthly votes, please vote quickly.
You must have noticed that I want the First Emperor to kill Xiang Yu with his own hands.
Definitely not water.
In addition, those who underestimate Xiang Yu's strength should check the information and just rely on subjective assumptions. It's stupid to be pushy.
When Han Xin's 300,000 Han troops surrounded and killed Xiang Yu, he even let him commit suicide. Thousands of people did not surround and kill him, so why are you forcing me to scold me? ?
Another thing is, regarding the tens of thousands of rebels, first of all, please read the book carefully. Ying Chengyu has already said that they are the prisoners of the Six Nations in custody, not the forbidden army. Don’t think that the prisoners of the Six Nations are only found in Lishan. There are those in county custody.
As for how you said he was transferred, I don't want to explain it. If you didn't read the book carefully and skipped the order, I don't want to explain it.
Also, let me tell you a secret, I have come to Xi'an, where will I go next? ())
