Chapter 730: Continue the Fire Attack

"It's over! Finished! It's completely over! ”

The Wei generals guarding the ferry began to feel cold in their backs.

muttered in despair.

This time, all the ships of the Wei army were gone.

Whether it is to cross the north bank of the river or to the south bank of the river.

Not anymore.

The guards only felt that the sky had fallen.

The 100,000 Wei troops will be trapped in the Beibi Mountains and become a live target for the attack on the Great Periphery.

…………

Pingyin City!

"Report! The commander was not good, the Xiaopingjin ferry was attacked, and all the warships of our army were destroyed. ”

Xin Wenyan was woken up by his subordinates.

I had just walked out of the room when I heard the bad news.

Nearly lost his stability and hit the doorknob frame.

"What? You repeat! ”

The man then repeated the words.

After listening to this, Xin Wenyan's face was bloody, and he was extremely pale.

After a long pause, he said, "Recruit people, follow me to the ferry to have a look!" ”

He wants to see for himself whether Xiao Pingjin is really ruined.

If all the ships are gone, the 100,000 army will be trapped beasts, and without follow-up support, they will definitely be eaten by Han Xin.

After all, the Korean army has been destroyed, and Han Shin has plenty of time and troops to deal with him.

After dawn, Xin Wenyan led everyone to the Xiaopingjin Ferry.

It was found that the place had been burned to the ground.

All the ships became wrecks and half-sunk in the water.

There was not a single intact ship on the river.

"Quickly find a way, contact the north shore, let the north shore, and try to dispatch the ship over." Xin Wenyan quickly reacted and said:

"Let them go downstream, transfer boats from Huaixian and Wude, hurry, go quickly!"

"It's handsome!"

At that moment someone went down to prepare, cut wood, made a suggestion raft, and then went into the water to row to the north bank.

"Report! Dashuai, the big thing is not good, Han Xin led the army to the north, and now he is in the territory of Pingxian County, and he is coming towards Pingyin! ”

"Report! Dashuai, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou of Luoyang and Yanshi are coming north, less than sixty miles away from my Pingyin! ”

Damn it!

Xin Wenyan scolded bitterly, and then said, "Go back!" ”

Hurriedly returned to Pingyin.

At this time, the army was less than forty miles away from the nearest one.

But it stopped suddenly.

The next day, he and Han Xin went hand in hand to kill Pingyin.

At noon, the two armies converged in Pingyin City, and nearly 40,000 troops surrounded Pingyin City.

Although the number of people was less than one and a half times that of the Wei army, the momentum was like a rainbow.

The Wei army did not dare to go out of the city to fight, so they could only hold on.

"Strategist, you burned this fire beautifully, and you solved nearly 200,000 enemy soldiers at once, and greatly increased the military prestige of my Qinglong Group Army." The two armies converged and entered the big tent, Han Xin boasted.

Xun You said: "The handsome man laughed, without me, you would have set this fire, the difference is just that I have a bad name." ”

"Poof...... Strategist...... It's not like that, haha, I'm not going to admit it. Han Xin laughed a little chicken thief, and then pointed with both hands.

Motioning for the generals to take their seats.

After sitting down, he said: "Now that our army has 40,000 soldiers and horses in Pingyin, there are still 100,000 Wei soldiers stationed in the city, Xiaopingjin has been destroyed, and the Wei army has no way to retreat, how do you say it should be fought!" ”

At that moment, a general stood up and said: "Dashuai, directly attack, use trebuchets to smash the walls of Pingyin City, we did things at the west gate and the south gate when we withdrew to Pingyin, and hollowed out the top beam stone in the middle." ”

Hearing this general's words, everyone laughed.

They all laughed a little treacherously.

That's bad.

When he withdrew from Pingyin, he was really talented.

This is the day I was waiting for.

Han Xin nodded slightly, and then said, "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

"Marshal, it's better to persuade to surrender, the Wei army has no way to retreat, defending is death, I don't believe they are not afraid of death, as long as they are given a way to live, they will definitely surrender." A more elegant general stood up and said:

"And in this way, it can also reduce the casualties of our Qinglong Group Army.

If we can persuade the Wei army to surrender, we will have a bargaining chip with the Wei State, and with these 100,000 people, the Wei State will not dare to attack us.

And we have enough troops to fight the Tiger Prison! Conquer Korea! ”

The crowd below immediately began to discuss.

Persuade the Wei army to surrender, this is also feasible.

It's just that the success rate is not high.

"What do you think?" Han Xin asked with a smile.

The generals said: "Great commander, it's good to persuade them to surrender, but I'm afraid that the Wei army will not give in so easily, unless we surround it for a few months and consume all their spirits." ”

"When they have no hope, then they may surrender, after all, this is the elite of the Wei State, not an ordinary miscellaneous county soldier."

Han Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xun You: "Strategist, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Xun You stood up and said: "The city is going to be smashed, and we want to let the Wei army know that we have the ability to enter at any time, but we can't kill it either, so we will instead throw ourselves into a fierce fire oil tank, set fire to the city, and persuade us to surrender when we burn it halfway."

The Wei army, which was so iron-clad, would also surrender. ”

"Hahaha, a military advisor is a military advisor, and he wants to set fire to it." Han Xin stood up and laughed:

"According to the will of the military advisor, first bombard the two southern city gates, set fire to the city, persuade the surrender, if the Wei army does not surrender, then it will be burned, I don't mind seeing 100,000 charred-like corpses."

"No!"

The generals stood up.

There was a sparkle in their eyes.

Soon the trebuchets brought in by the army were swinging out.

Gathered outside the South City Gate.

Began to throw stones at Pingyin City.

Pingyin City was not big, and the Zhou army did something in the southern city wall.

In less than half an hour, the south city gate was smashed in many places with a bang.

"Marshal, the south city gate has collapsed, the trebuchet of the Zhou army is too sharp and fierce, my army may not be able to defend the south city gate!"

"Dashuai, Da Zhou used a large number of oil bombs, Nancheng was ignited, and the fire spread to other urban areas."

Xin Wenyan clenched his fists tightly when he heard this, and punched him heavily.

"Quick, go put out the fire, don't let the fire spread to other cities!"

Soon the Wei army in the city was all engaged in extinguishing the fire, and the fire farther north was fine, there was no fierce fire oil, and it was very easy to extinguish.

But those who are close to the south will not work, they will not be extinguished at all, and if they are touched, they will be ignited.

The entire Wei army in the city was black-headed and black-faced with smoke.

Morale plummeted.

"Marshal, Han Xin sent someone to persuade us to surrender, saying that if we don't surrender, we will burn the three urban districts in the east, west and north, and burn all our troops to death in the city!"

Suddenly, someone came in and reported.

Boom, this time, all the generals of Wei were shocked.

They cursed.

"Da Zhou is crazy! And set fire to the city, why are they so ruthless! ”

"Isn't Ye Qing known for his benevolence and his reputation? burned Pingyin City, and the people of the entire city were buried together, he was not afraid of losing the hearts of the people? ”

"Ahem, there wasn't a single citizen in the city, and we were all taken away when we came in!"

Although Pingyin belonged to the Wei State, and the people in the city were all Wei people, when the Great Zhou army withdrew, the people had already been swept to Luoyang City.

Luoyang is too big and needs a lot of population to fill in.

Therefore, the people of the four counties in Beibishan were all relocated.

Naturally, Xun Yu dared to attack with fire unscrupulously.
