Chapter 423: Night Attack on the City
Zhou Cang couldn't help but feel a little at a loss when he saw Han Zhan being so polite to him: "Lord, it's time to torture the villain." ”
"Yuanfu," although Zhou Cang had just come to defect, Han Zhan, who came from later generations, knew him in far more detail than others, and he planned to give Zhou Cang a chance to make contributions, and then he would be able to promote the other party logically. "Tell me, when are we going to attack the city?"
"Attacking the city tomorrow is a bit too hasty, it's better to prepare for two more days." Because Zhou Cang didn't know Han Zhan's situation here, he said cautiously: "That section of the city wall is all rammed earth, and there are no bricks outside, if there is a heavy rain, it may collapse, and it will be much easier for us to enter the city at that time." ”
Han Zhan asked unhurriedly, "Yuanfu, if Benhou orders to lead troops to attack the city, how many soldiers and horses do you need?" ”
"Eight hundred!" Zhou Cang said unequivocally, "As long as the lord can trust a certain one, as long as there are eight hundred soldiers and horses, he will definitely be able to break through Dongguang City." ”
"No, 800 is too little." After Han Zhan heard the number of people Zhou Cang said, he shook his head and said, "If there are precautions in the city, it will be difficult for these soldiers and horses to rush into the city, and it will be difficult to achieve anything. Ben Hou gave you 2,000 men and horses, how long will it take for you to be able to capture Dongguang City? ”
Zhou Cang thought for a while, and then replied, "If it rains tomorrow, we can capture the city in two days at most." If there is no rain, the delay may be more. ”
"Big brother," since there were no outsiders in the tent, Han Zhan's address to Zhao Yun changed again: "Do you think it will rain here in Dongguang City recently?" ”
Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and then replied: "It's unusually hot tonight, so there must be rain tonight, maybe it's still a rainstorm." ”
"If it rains heavily, it might be able to break down that section of the wall." When Han Zhan heard that there might be rain tonight, he couldn't wait to say, "Otherwise, we will attack the city tonight." ”
"No!" "No way!" As soon as Han Zhan's words came out, Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang stopped them at the same time.
Seeing that the two had actually reached a tacit understanding, Han Zhan couldn't help but smile dumbly: "I didn't expect your master and servant to have such a tacit understanding, it's really rare." Big brother, tell me your reasons! ”
"If there is a heavy rain tonight, and our army wants to attack the city secretly, the defenders in the city are afraid that we will take advantage of the heavy rain to attack the city, such as taking precautions." After Zhao Yun explained his reasons, he reminded Han Zhan: "If our army rashly attacks, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”
"What about you, Yuanfu." After Han Zhan waited for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhou Cang again: "Now let's talk about the reasons for your objection." ”
"Back to the lord's words," Zhou Cang hurriedly replied: "Although the rammed earth wall in the northwest direction is not reliable, it is not realistic to want the city wall to collapse just by relying on a heavy rainstorm. I think it will take at least two rainstorms for the rammed earth to be soaked in the rain and collapse. ”
Don't look at this Dongguang City, it has been attacked several times in a row, but Han Zhan knows very well in his heart that the defenders in the city have been greatly attrition after repeated battles, and most of the remaining people are ordinary people who have no combat effectiveness. If Zhou Cang could really lead his troops and horses into the city, then it would be easy to capture Dongguang City.
Thinking of this, he said to Zhao Yun and Zhou Cang: "The soldiers are fast, if there is really a heavy rain tonight, then Benhou plans to send troops to attack Dongguang City at night." Seeing that Han Zhan was so stubborn, Zhao Yun couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only take Zhou Cang to select the soldiers and horses for the night attack.
Soon after dark, it began to rain in the sky.
Seeing that it was raining more and more, Zhao Yun hurriedly came to the big tent to see Han Zhan: "Second brother, it's really raining." And there are signs of getting bigger and bigger, and I think if we sneak attack tonight, we may be able to take the city. ”
"Soldiers!" Han Zhan commanded briefly.
"What, order troops now?" When Zhao Yun heard Han Zhan say this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Second brother, it's just raining now, isn't it a bit too early to rush to order troops?" ”
"It's not early at all." Han Zhan replied expressionlessly: "Let the soldiers and horses participating in the night attack wait outside, and as soon as Ben Hou's order comes out, they will immediately launch an attack on Dongguang City." ”
Zhou Cang couldn't help but feel a little at a loss when he saw Han Zhan being so polite to him: "Lord, it's time to torture the villain." ”
