Chapter 38: Night Attack on the Great Scattered Pass (2)
The first batch of soldiers who came up quickly observed the environment on the city wall, and within the line of sight that could be seen, they saw that the soldiers of the Yongwang Army were sleeping, which was one of the possible situations that Han Xin listed to the soldiers in advance, which was a relatively ideal situation.
The Tiance Army was an army with very strict military discipline, and the soldiers acted in strict accordance with the instructions given by Han Xin in advance to deal with various situations, and they drew their swords one after another and quietly approached the enemy soldiers.
When approaching the enemy, a single knife or stabbed the enemy soldier's heart, or slashed the enemy soldier's neck, in order to kill the enemy's move, many Yongwang soldiers died in the hands of the Han army in a daze.
Suddenly, the screams of an enemy soldier rang out, piercing the quiet night sky, and most of the Yongjun soldiers were suddenly awakened.
The soldiers of King Yong on the city wall, when they opened their eyes, found that someone was swinging a knife at him, and many people were hit by the key point before they could react, and they saw clearly that it was the Han soldiers who came.
Participating in the battle for the first time, Wang Dahu was very excited, and killed 4 Yongwang soldiers in a row in a short period of time.
At this time, the second group of Tiance troops had already climbed the city wall, and the third group of soldiers followed, Han Xin was one of them, and he chose to climb at this time, which was considered in advance.
When he was still training in Hanzhong, Han Xin also had to join the training of the Tiance Army, he spent a lot of time and energy since he was a child to familiarize himself with military books and study the art of war, although he was not wasted in martial arts, but the time for training martial arts was much less, and among the dozens of generals in the Han army, Han Xin's force value only belonged to the middle and low grades.
Han Xin is a person who is determined to become a high-ranking general, what he has to do is to manage and train soldiers, command battles, personally charge into battle, and do as little as possible to risk his life, but he can't fall behind, so choosing the third group to climb the city wall is a more suitable choice.
The shouts and killings on the city wall became louder and louder, and the soldiers of King Yong hurriedly took up their arms to fight, but they were inferior to the Han army in terms of morale, daily training, and individual soldier quality.
Resting in the city tower is the general of the Yongwang Army who leads this group of city defenders.
King Yong, King Zhai, and King Sai were originally generals of the Qin State, and after being crowned king by Xiang Yu, the fiefdom army still used the establishment of the Qin period. Specifically: five people are in the team, and one is the captain of the army; The second army is what, and the chief is set up; Five tithes for the tun, set up a tun chief; Two tuns are hundreds, and one hundred generals are set up; five hundred, five hundred masters; a thousand, two or five hundred lords.
Among the 2,000 defenders of Dasanguan, the duty system was three-shift, with 500 men per shift, with 500 military officers and the remaining 500 as mobile troops.
After the five hundred lords were awakened, they didn't have time to put on their clothes, so they hurriedly picked up their weapons and rushed out with dozens of soldiers who were lazily sleeping together in the city tower.
The Han army climbed up the city wall from the east side of the tower, and the 200 soldiers on the city wall on the west side of the tower also hurriedly took up their weapons and rushed to this side.
On the left and right sides of the tower, there are stairs up and down the city wall.
"Brothers, come with me!"
Wang Dahu ordered loudly, led his subordinates to rush in the direction of the city tower, to run down the ground from the stairs next to the city tower as fast as possible, as long as the city gate can be opened, the victory will be in hand, that is his great achievement.
It just so happened that dozens of people led by the five hundred lords of the enemy army rushed out of the city tower and rushed towards him, and the two sides were killed together immediately.
The second group of soldiers who came up fought with the rest of the enemy troops on the east side of the city wall, they had strong combat effectiveness and moved forward bravely, and the remaining dozens of Yongwang soldiers themselves were unable to protect themselves, where could they stop the Han army that was constantly climbing up,
Deng Yulong, who was a few hundred meters away, saw everything on the city wall of Dasanguan in his eyes, and being able to climb the city wall smoothly was already half of the success.
The officers and soldiers below the Dasan Pass, looking at the battle on the city wall, were all full of blood and eager to participate in it immediately.
Deng Yulong said loudly: "Light the torch and cheer for the Han army!" ”
Soon, dozens of pre-prepared torches were quickly lit, lighting up the night sky of Dasanling.
"The Han army will win! The Han army will win! ”
Thousands of soldiers chanted slogans, and their loud voices resounded in the sky, which not only cheered up the soldiers in battle, but also increased the prestige of the existing side and caused greater psychological pressure on the enemy.
On the city wall of Dasanguan, Han Xin, who climbed up, quickly observed the situation at the scene and quickly made the most appropriate judgment.
"Third group of brethren, come with me! Support Team 1! ”
At the critical moment, Han Xin had to personally participate in the battle in order to motivate his subordinates to fight bravely against the enemy, he drew a single knife on his back, led dozens of soldiers, and rushed towards the enemy army who was fighting with the first team.
At this time, the Yongwang soldiers on the west side of the city tower, the first group had also rushed over, and the follow-up troops on both sides joined the fierce battle.
In this short period of effort, 11 of the 59 people in the first team with Wang Dahu as the capital had already been killed, but they killed more than 50 enemies, especially Wang Dahu, and cut down 4 enemies in a row.
After the Yongwang soldiers on the west side of the city tower arrived, although they were temporarily superior in numbers, they were quickly suppressed by the Han army in terms of momentum, and many soldiers were panicked and fearful, and the battle was even more ineffective under the panic, and the death rate was five times higher than that of the Han army.
Han Xin held his weapon tightly and participated in the battle, at this moment, he had no time to care about whether he was in danger, and he had only one belief in his heart, that is, to lead the army to open the city gate.
He had no doubt that the soldiers he had trained would be much stronger than the Yongwang soldiers in front of him, but the key to the success or failure of this mission was to quickly open the city gate to let the main force outside in, and not to entangle the enemy on the city wall too much.
Although Han Xin's martial arts value is at a low and medium level among the generals, he is still stronger than ordinary soldiers, and under the full fight, two Yongwang soldiers died under his sword, which was the first time he killed in his life.
The Tiance army was well-trained, and the fourth group of soldiers quickly climbed up and quickly rushed to Han Xin's side.
At this time, the second group of soldiers had already cleared the enemy troops on the east wall of the castle tower, and then rushed to this side.
While participating in the battle, Han Xin did not forget to pay attention to the battle situation, he knew very well that he had to let a group of men drag the enemy troops on the city wall, cover the others to rush down to the ground quickly, and he had to open the city gate before the enemy army arrived.
He gave the order aloud: "The third and fourth teams will hold the enemy on the wall, and the others will rush down with me." ”
At this time, the Yongwang soldiers died more than 200 people, and the Han army killed more than 30 people.
