Chapter 83: Departure
By this time, everyone present had already understood, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts. After all, in their opinion, such a plan was far beyond their imagination, and Li Xin was able to think of such a plan in a short period of time, this wisdom is really incomparable.
Of course, they didn't know how long Li Xin had been planning this matter, and since the Huashan army came down from the mountain, he began to associate what he did with those things in history. In order to use these things in order to achieve their goals.
And Fu Jian's insistence on the small city of Chang'an is the most important thing for him. Therefore, he had a general idea in his mind a long time ago. It's just that as he experienced more battles later, his views and understanding of the war were slowly enriched, so the plan slowly changed. Otherwise, according to his initial thoughts, he was afraid that this plan was unlikely to succeed at all.
"I think the eldest brother doesn't just want to destroy Fu Qin's power, I'm afraid he still has a crush on their war horses!" Zhou Tong suddenly laughed, looked at Li Xin and said.
Hearing this, everyone present burst out laughing in unison.
"Hehe, there's nothing to hide either. Yes, I did have a crush on those war horses, don't you have any ideas? Seven thousand cavalry! Let's not talk about getting all of them, as long as we can get a thousand horses, it will be a huge gain for our Huashan Army. Therefore, in this battle, we must be extra serious, and we must be rigorous! Li Xin was not embarrassed, and admitted it directly.
"If this is done right, it is possible! It's a bit more difficult, but we still have to give it a try! The place in the north of Chang'an City, the terrain is complex and chaotic, and it is not like those palaces in the south of the city, which have been renovated many times. You still have to plan well, and it's best that once Fu Xiong comes in, he can't get out again! Wang Meng thought for a moment and said again.
"Yes, that's the biggest problem. After all, to the north of the West and East markets are the Hengmen Gate and the Chucheng Gate, and a little further east, there is also the Luocheng Gate. If Fu Xiong finds out that something is wrong, he may run away from these doors! Li Xin nodded, which was also what he was most worried about.
"In this case, when we act, it is better to enter directly from the three gates in the north of the city, and after everyone enters, we will close the three gates easily, and then divide the troops and arrange. In this case, 5,000 troops are too little, add another battalion, and make up 6,000 men! After staring at the picture for a while, Wang Meng proposed.
"Let's do it! That's all for us, after everyone goes down, get ready as soon as possible, and wait for the order to act! By the way, these 6,000 people must be selected first, and I will bring all the people with the best archery skills in the Huashan Army! Li Xin agreed, and now that the discussion is over, the matter is almost over, and after finally explaining, everyone disperses.
Li Xin returned to his house and decided to get a good night's sleep, after all, the next big battle may be very fierce, and he has to recuperate. I slept well, and by the time I woke up, it was already noon the next day.
"Big brother, everything is already ready, just wait for your order!" As soon as he walked out of the gate of the county government, Zhou Tong came over.
"Very good, let the soldiers rest well tonight, and tomorrow at dawn, we will set off immediately. By the way, you don't need to bring those iron armors over, bring more siege equipment, and hand them over to Xue Zhenwen when the time comes! Li Xin nodded, and then thought of something, and hurriedly explained.
"I'll arrange it!" Zhou Tong hurriedly turned around and left.
This night, it seemed quite quiet outside Zheng County, but most people didn't know that in fact, there were already 6,000 soldiers of the Huashan Army gathered outside the city, and they were about to move. Because of the secrecy of the operation, all soldiers were forbidden not to make too much noise. When the sky was slightly bright, the army quietly set off and quickly headed in the direction of the overlord.
On the way, Li Xin first sent Tu Qi to inform Hu Yanxin and Xue Zhenwen of them. Huyan poison is easy to do, so in order to be able to make this great achievement, Xue Zhenwen specially asked Huan Wen for a patrol and vigilance task, that is, to take his subordinates to go around outside every day to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.
"Look, my lord, there seems to be a fire on the other side! It's just a little weird! Since the agreement with Tu Qi was made, Xue Zhenwen has been secretly preparing, and at the same time, he is also a little apprehensive in his heart, anxiously waiting for Li Xin's news. At this time, when he heard that his personal soldiers who had arranged for him to keep watch on the west bank of Bashui came to report, he immediately got up from the couch.
"Hurry up, order the troops to march, and whoever dares to make a loud noise will be killed!" After running outside the camp tent to take a look, Xue Zhenwen was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered.
Soon, he led his 3,000 soldiers to quietly cross the Bashui and reach the outside of the city. And there, Huyan Poison and the others had just left the city, and they just collided with each other in two strokes.
"This is Lord Xue! Xiaomin Hu Yan poison, Hu Yangchi has seen Lord Xue! Hu Yanxuan and Hu Yangchi saw Xue Zhenwen on the horse, and hurriedly bowed.
"No excuses! Since we act together, we can be regarded as our own people! What about Li Xin? Where is he? Xue Zhenwen just nodded and said lightly.
Seeing each other's appearance, Hu Yanxuan and Hu Yangchi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but they couldn't say anything. After all, there is no friendship between the two sides in the first place. After hearing his question at this time, he couldn't help but focus on Tu Qi's body.
"Come with me, three! My general is waiting in front of me! Tu Qi said to the three of them, and the election turned around and headed north. Xue Zhenwen and the others were puzzled, but they still followed.
The meeting point chosen by Li Xin was at the place where Weishui and Jingshui meet, and when he crossed the river, he waited for the other two teams west of Jingshui. This time, he brought Li Erhei, Zhou Tong, Liao Chuan, Liu Xiaohai and Peng Lin over!
Not long after, there was movement from the front, Hu Yanfu and their army were left on the shore, while the three of them, led by Tu Qi, came to see Li Xin.
"You're Li Xin?" Xue Zhenwen couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Li Xin at first glance, after all, this was too young. But as soon as his words came out, Li Erhei and the others behind him couldn't help but be angry, if it wasn't for Li Xin to stop him, with Li Erhei's temper, he almost rushed forward.
You know, in this era, unless it's between people who know each other very well, it's quite rude to call your name instead of calling your name.
Xue Zhenwen obviously discovered this, and although he didn't apologize, he still changed his attitude slightly, and said: "General Li is really young and promising, and he is a talent!" Xue really didn't expect that the person who created such a great career in Huashan Army would be so young! ”
"It's okay, we haven't seen each other in the first place, so these customs are exempt. Now that everyone is here, let's discuss this action! Let's set off as soon as possible, lest the enemy discover our purpose! Li Xinhun didn't care, he waved his hand directly and said.
Hearing him say this, Hu Yanyu and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly gathered over.
"In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, let's enter from the north city of Chang'an. After arriving there, Hu Yanyu, Hu Yangchi, and Lord Xue, you immediately rushed to the small city of Chang'an with your soldiers, and attacked the city with all your might, you must break through the small city and take Fu Jian! Li Xin didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out Wang Meng's map and assigned the task.
"We're going to siege the city? You mean you don't go? When Xue Zhenwen heard this, she couldn't help frowning and asked.
"Lord Xue, the small city of Chang'an is close to the south of the city, and it is not far from the Fu Qin army. If I don't bring someone to block the enemy's reinforcements, I'm afraid that before you break through the small city, you will already be killed by the Fu Qin army! Of course, the fastest to come should be Fu Xiong's 7,000 cavalry, if you are willing to block them with 3,000 soldiers and horses, I am willing to attack the city! It's just that this first work will have nothing to do with you at that time! This time, Li Xin didn't get used to him, and said leisurely.
As soon as these words came out, Xue Zhenwen lost his temper at all. He knew the danger involved, and he was eager for Li Xin to block the 7,000 cavalry by himself. Therefore, in the end, he nodded and said: "Everything is up to your arrangement, I admire you for arranging such a dangerous task for yourself!" ”
Hu Yanyu and Hu Yangchi had nothing to say, so after Li Xin finished dispatching, the four of them immediately led the army along the Weishui all the way to the west. On the way, Li Xin handed over all the siege equipment to them, after all, his own side of the task did not need these.
The north of Chang'an City is close to Weishui, and there are bridges that can pass through it, but they are not a straight line, and the direction of the city wall is a step that descends from east to west. There are also three gates here, from east to west, which are the Los Angeles Gate, the Chu City Gate, and the Heng Gate.
The Chang'an City of the Western Han Dynasty was different from the Chang'an City of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was far less uniform than the Sui and Tang dynasties. Like the avenues in the city, basically, each avenue leads to only one of the gates.
Li Xin and the others chose to enter Chang'an City from the westernmost Hengmen, and after entering this gate, it was Hengmen Avenue, which was in the middle of the east and west cities. Further south, it is between the North Palace and the Gui Palace, and after passing through these two palaces, you will directly arrive at the North Gate of the small city. Huyan poison can disperse their troops and horses, or divide their troops to attack the four gates of the small city. 166 Reading Network
