Chapter 1704: Occupy Yecheng

Zhang Liang's strategy this time is complicated and complicated, but to say that it is simple and simple, it is to use Han Xin's psychology of wanting to preserve his strength.

There are ambushes on three of the four roads to the north, although it may not be impossible to force a break through with the strength of Yecheng, but the price of forcing a break is unacceptable to Han Xin, so the north, which was ignored by both sides at the beginning, is the safest.

After the skill was opened, Zhang Liang, who had an intelligence of 104, according to Han Xin's temperament, specially set a trap, and it was difficult for Han Xin to think about it.

If Han Xin's intelligence hadn't been suppressed, with his 96-point intelligence, although he wouldn't be able to see through Zhang Liang's calculations, if he was adding 103 commanders, he might not be able to detect something wrong.

It's a pity that Han Xin, whose intelligence was suppressed to 90, was completely led by Zhang Liang.

As for the rest of Han and Zhao's armies, they have a kind of blind confidence in Han Xin, Han Xin said that the most dangerous north is now the safest, will they break through to the other three with confidence?

Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xun Kan, these wise men, although they are famous strategists in Hebei, but their intelligence has not broken 100 after all, and it is still a little bit short to see through Zhang Liang's strategy.

Late at night, the hour is approaching.

After Han Xin looked up at the night, he realized that the time was almost up, and immediately ordered: "Break through." ”

Chirping......

The gate of the north gate was opened, and a large number of iron horsemen wrapped in cotton cloth rushed out and headed straight for a large Qin army camp in the north, and their mission was to break through the Qin army's encirclement.

"Report ...... Lord Qi, the Qin army's troops have indeed been transferred to other places, the troops in the northern Qin camp are extremely empty, Yuan Hong and Zhang Kui, two generals, have already captured this battalion, and now the road to the north has been opened. “

"Okay."

A hint of joy flashed in Han Xin's eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Nangong Changwan and Ma Shanwei, now order the two of you to lead 10,000 troops each to block the reinforcements of the Qin army in the southeast and southeast directions, and buy time for the army to retreat." ”

"No."

The two generals were ordered to leave.

Subsequently, under the command of Han Xin, a large number of grain trucks and material trucks were dispatched from the north gate and quickly headed towards the direction of the north camp.

"Report ...... Qi Yu Lord, the reinforcements of the Qin army came from the east, and the leader of the army was Zhang Liao. ”

"Report ...... Qi Yu Lord, the reinforcements of the Qin army came from the west, and the leader of the army was Long Ji. ”

Han Xin suddenly changed color, and ordered: "Immediately send an order to Nangong Changwan and Ma Shanwei, let them hold out for two hours, and send reinforcements to them immediately." ”

"No."

"Immediately send an order to Yuan Hong and Zhang Kui, and order them to lead 5,000 elite cavalry each, and support the interception armies in the east and west respectively."

"No."

The reinforcements of the Qin army counterattacked very violently, and the generals who led the army were Zhang Liaolong and these two famous generals, Han Xin was worried that Nangong Changwan and Ma Shanwei would not be able to bear it, so he sent Yuan Hong and Zhang Kui out.

With the cavalry support of Yuan Hong and Zhang Kui, the pressure on the eastern and western sides to intercept the army was greatly reduced, and the offensive of the Qin army was finally blocked.

Two hours later, when the last grain cart also drove on the road to the north, Han Xin's heart that had been hanging could finally be half relieved.

"Send a signal to Yuan Hong and them immediately, and let the interception army also withdraw." Han Xin ordered.

"No."

The interception armies of the east and west, when they received the order to retreat, retreated at full speed in the direction of Beidaying, and the Qin army immediately launched a pursuit when they saw this.

More than 4,000 coalition troops died in the pursuit of enemy reinforcements, while as many as 6,000 enemy troops died in pursuit.

Just to stall for time, the coalition army lost another 10,000 troops, while the Qin army's losses were minimal.

In this regard, Han Xin actually expected it a long time ago, but as long as the remaining 100,000 troops could be brought out of the encirclement of the Qin army, even if it was worth sacrificing 10,000 troops.

"Hurry, hurry......"

Yuan Tan shouted anxiously, looking at the soldiers who were running slowly, one by one they died under the arrows of the Qin army, and his heart was simply dripping blood.

Most of the soldiers killed in the battle were soldiers of the Zhao army, and after losing Yecheng, the Zhao State had no more land, and there was no replenishment of troops, and one soldier died one less.

"Lord, most of the interception troops have already withdrawn, and the remaining intentions are entangled by the Qin army, and they are destined not to withdraw." Zhang Kui reported.

Han Xin nodded and said decisively: "Since this is the case, I can only abandon them." Set it on fire. ”

"No."

With Han Xin's order, Beiying, which was filled with fire-burning things such as fire oil and sulfur, instantly turned into a sea of fire, and a large number of coalition soldiers who did not flee back were burned to death, which also completely blocked the way for the Qin army to pursue northward.

"Alright, hurry up and retreat."

Han Xin looked at the fire camp not far away, and said lightly: "This fire can't stop the Qin army for long, so we have to continue to set fire to the main roads along the way, so as to delay the pursuit of the Qin army, and our army can run as far as we can take advantage of this gap." ”

"No."

On the other side, Qin Hao couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Han Xin's method of blocking the road with flames: "This Han Xin, in order to escape for his life, he really does everything, but he is destined to not escape." ”

Originally, Qin Hao was a little unsure, but when he learned that Beiying was occupied, he could already conclude that Han Xin was in the trap, and the next thing was to see the performance of Bai Qi and Zhang Liang.

"Lord, it's time to take over Yecheng completely." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Qin Hao nodded, waved his big hand and said, "Let's go, follow this king into Ye City, and go to see this third famous city in the world." ”

Yecheng is both a big city and a strong city, and under the onslaught of more than 500 catapults, more than 400 wells, and more than 200,000 troops of the Qin army, it has held out for more than a month.

Now this fortified city with 500,000 people is occupied by the Qin army without blood.

At this time, Yecheng was far less magnificent than it was more than a month ago, the city wall was full of dense cracks, and the houses near the city wall were basically smashed.

The people in the outermost area of the outer city had already been moved to the inner city by Han Xin, so Qin Hao didn't see a single person after entering the city.

Qin Hao glanced around, but what he saw was a devastated ruin, nearly half of the houses in the outer city had collapsed, and it was conceivable that the inner city must be crowded with people.

"Fortunately, there was no decisive battle in Yecheng, otherwise I don't know how many resources would have to be invested in the post-disaster reconstruction."

Qin Hao sighed lightly, and then took everyone under his command and entered the Taishou Mansion together.

"Report, Qi Yu Lord, the materials that Han Xin did not take with him when he withdrew from Yecheng were burned, and the grain depot, armory, salt depot and other warehouses were intact."

"What?"

Qin Hao's voice couldn't help but get louder, after all, this is a real enemy, with Han Xin's shrewdness, how could he do this?

When Guo Jia heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, Han Xin may have surrendered." ”
