Chapter 55: A Tired Soldier's Plan

Although they were both attacking the east bank of the water, this young general obviously did not think the same as the previous general. The general's idea was to attract the forces of the Huashan army on the mound and ensure the attack from the north. The idea of this young general is to use this trick as a surprise soldier, so that the effect will be greater.

"Well, you're right, this might work! So be it! The king himself led a thousand soldiers and horses, and you went with the king. Take advantage of the night to enter the mountain, take a detour behind the anti-thief, and then we will attack again and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop! Hearing this, Fu Fa's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately said.

In the next few days, there was not much movement in the army, and although there would be several attacks every day, they were basically just small fights. As soon as they realized that the attack was unfavorable, they immediately withdrew.

"What do you say this is for? Isn't he in a hurry to quell the rebellion? On the top of the cliff, Li Erhei sat with Li Xin and several other generals to discuss things, and Li Erhei said with some incomprehension.

"There's nothing strange about it, he should be taking the opportunity to hone in with his soldiers. After all, although there are 10,000 of these soldiers, they are drawn from various places, and their combat strength is uneven. He wanted to unify these soldiers under his command, so that he could truly exert the strength of this 10,000-strong army. At the same time, he also wants to test our means, don't look at this day, only a small number of people are attacking, we naturally have no problem if there are no flaws, but as long as we show a little flaw, I am afraid that the other party will immediately wave the army to kill! Li Xin said that he was not surprised by this approach. After all, when he established the Huashan Army, he did much the same thing.

"This hill is full of trees, so it's relatively easy for us to defend on this side. If it weren't for the fact that the river valley formed by this water is here, just across the north and south, forming a barrier, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for us to block the fierce attack of the other party's 10,000 people! Team Zheng Hu Tian said. After Li Erhei was promoted to the position of captain, his original brigade was promoted to Hu Tianlai to command.

In order to build a defensive line, Li Xin sent people to cut down trees along the cliff and build a two-meter-wide road. Basically, it follows the direction of the water until it reaches the foot of the Qinling Mountains, a distance of thirty or forty miles.

After the road reaches the northernmost point, it turns in the direction of Zheng County to the east, and you can go directly down to the wall under the cliff. And at that turn, in the direction of the enemy camp, Li Xin emptied a wooded area and placed his command center of the water defense line there, but it was not visible from the bottom of the mountain. The place had a wide field of vision, and the terrain was high, and when you stood on the side, you could clearly see the battle situation under the mountain, and even the enemy's camp to the west.

Thanks to this, this is just cutting down trees, if it is to build the Great Wall, the entire Huashan Army will invest all its military strength here, and it is impossible to build the city wall in such a short time. Of course, if there is really a wall several meters high, the western defense line can be regarded as very stable. As long as he doesn't faint, it is almost impossible for Fu Qin to break through, and of course, Li Xin can only think about this matter.

"Yes! It is precisely because of this that I chose this place as a place to defend, and we have the advantage of this location! However, the enemy is not simple. In short, it's still the same sentence, no matter what tricks the enemy plays, let's just stick to it! Tell the brothers behind me to keep a good eye on this line, and never let the enemy take advantage of it! Li Xin specially reminded everyone, don't be too relieved!

"Don't worry! The brothers are watching it day and night! I have a hunch that when the next big war breaks out, it won't end easily! Li Erhei gave him a reassuring look and said.

"That's fine, I'm afraid you'll be careless! If it's all right, let's all go down and rest! Li Xin smiled. After saying that, he got up and walked towards the tent.

However, he didn't sleep well, because in the middle of the night, the enemy suddenly attacked, and he couldn't sleep at all.

"Kill! .........! Suddenly, from the bottom of the mountain, there was an earth-shattering shout.

"It seems that the enemy is preparing for a real attack. Just follow the previous arrangement! You go down and guard, I'll sit here, and the two of us will take turns to hold on! Glancing at Li Erhei beside him, there was a look of understanding in the eyes of the two of them, and Li Xin said.

"Don't worry! I'll leave it to me! Li Erhei didn't say much, and turned around and ran directly down the mountain.

Li Xin took Tian He to stand outside the camp, lying on the ground, quietly observing the battle on both sides of the wall below. Because the sky was dark at this time, it was impossible to see clearly at all, and I could only see under the moonlight, there was darkness inside and outside the wall that was constantly shaking, and from time to time there was a snow-white knife flash.

"General, the battle down there seems to be fierce!" Tian He was by Li Xin's side, and after looking at it for a while, he said in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it for the time being, there are two blacks, there should be no problem. What we need to guard against is other movements, and you all keep your eyes open for me! Li Xin shook his head, not paying too much attention, but staring closely below.

At this time, the two sides were already fighting together, and the soldiers and horses on Fu Qin's side kept attacking the earthen wall, hoping to use their numerical advantage to drag down the guarding Huashan army. However, under the leadership of Li Erhei, this wall can be described as extremely strong, and the enemy cannot occupy even a small area at all.

But this time, the attack lasted a relatively long time, starting in the middle of the night and continuing until the next morning. Every time the Fufa sent men to attack, it was at least a wave of 2,000 men, and sometimes even as many as 3,000 men. But even then, they could not take it.

This attack did not end until the evening of the next day. In front and behind the wall, the two sides fought repeatedly, and the Huashan army did not give an inch, blocking the enemy to the west of the wall. After repeated attacks, the enemy finally threw down hundreds of corpses, but the Huashan army also suffered more than a hundred casualties. Fortunately, the city was defended, otherwise, I am afraid that the proportion of casualties would be higher.

"Tian He, you take someone down to replace the guards with the brothers. Give them a good rest! Seeing the end of the war, Li Xin said to Tian He on the side.

"Yes, I'll go!" Tian He hurriedly turned around and led people down.

"Han Tang, today's battle is very happy, the enemy has been fighting for so long and has not taken a single stone from my hand!" After a while, Li Erhei came up, and after seeing Li Xin, he said proudly.

"Well done! However, it also confirmed that my guess was correct, and that the enemy was indeed tempting. The current offensive is just a general practice, but the further it goes, the more means I am afraid. The main thing is that the Nafufa will definitely give full play to their numerical advantage. Next, our real test will appear! Li Xin was not so optimistic, and was faintly worried.

Everything was as he expected, and in the middle of the night, the enemy began to attack again, and everyone had only half a night's rest. The Qin people launched an attack on the wall again, and this time the attack lasted longer, and it was only over after two days and two nights.

In this way, the soldiers of the defending Huashan Army were very tired, but the enemy army was much better, after all, they had a large number of men to replace them, and they took turns to attack. After a few days, although the defense line has not been breached, I am afraid that it will not be good if it continues like this for a long time. The enemy is obviously using a tired tactic, and in this way, the Huashan army will eventually be dragged down.

"The enemy should come to attack again today, the time may be longer than the last time, this time I will go down for you, you guard above, by the way, take a good rest!" After the day's battle was over, Li Xin said to Li Erhei.

"Alright! In short, be careful yourself. Those guys are too bad, they do this every day, and they don't let people live! Li Erhei nodded and said.

"You're not talking nonsense? How could the enemy want us to live! After so many days of fighting, I think that the enemy's other means should be coming out soon, you must be careful and vigilant! When Li Xin heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and after thinking about it for a while, he admonished again.

After saying that, the two went their separate ways. Li Xinlai was behind the defensive line below, which had just been taken over by two other brigades, and was on patrol, when the soldiers saw him coming, they stood up and saluted.

Among these people, several of them were those who had been surrendered before, and after a few battles, there was no big problem. In general, the loyalty of these soldiers to the Huashan Army is constantly improving, although it is very hard every day, but because of Li Xin's promises, they are basically the truth, and they have not deceived everyone. Therefore, everyone is very convinced of him.

"General, I'm afraid those Diqin people will come again tonight, right!?" I came to the top of the wall and took a look, and a soldier next to me asked.

"I don't think I'm going to be absent, after all, don't I come every day these days! If they don't come! I really can't sleep well! Hearing this, Li Xin said with a smile.

Hearing this, the soldiers present all burst out laughing, only to feel a lot more relaxed suddenly. Of course, Li Xin didn't think like they thought, if this really happened, he would really not sleep well, after all, he had to think about whether the enemy had other tricks against him.
