When the drums stopped, all the generals had come to the tent.

According to Deng Yulong's regulations, the main general is promoted, and all officers above the rank of captain must come, but this is not absolute, unless the chief general has special provisions, the Tiance Army is an independent branch of the military, and Han Xin, as the military commander, has the qualifications to participate in the deliberations and let the chief general point the general like other generals.

There are a total of 28 generals in the tent, divided into left and right sides, each of whom is neatly armored and energetic.

Standing in the front row on the left row are Cao Shen and Lu Juan, on the right row are Fan Hao and Zhou Bo, and Han Xin is standing at the back of the right row.

Deng Yulong said: "I believe that everyone is eager to seize Guanzhong immediately, Chen Cang is in front of him, the soldiers are fast, and they must be taken as soon as possible in order to wave Guanzhong." Cao Shen..."

"The Last Will Be"

"I will give you 10,000 soldiers, starting tomorrow, to launch the fiercest attack on Chen Cang, and you must take it within three days."

"No"

Cao Shen had no objection and respectfully accepted the order.

Fan Hao came out of the column and asked: "General, the last general has seen the city of Chencang, it is very strong, the terrain is dangerous, and it is not so easy to capture. ”

Deng Yulong said: "As a handsome, you should grasp the overall situation, weigh the pros and cons, and identify the direction. As a general, you only need to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief. General Fan, Zhang Han's cavalry will either not come, or if they do, they will arrive tomorrow morning at the latest, so you have to be ready. ”

Of course, he knew that it was impossible to capture Chen Cang in a short period of time with a frontal attack.

After observing Chencang City just now, Deng Yulong had generally determined the plan to capture Chencang, but he had to fight a siege battle before the follow-up plan could be implemented smoothly.

"No"

Fan Xu answered for a moment, then stopped talking and retreated to his place.

If he had stayed in the past, he would definitely be angry, but after the strategy of cultivating the plank road in the open, secretly Chen Cang, and then seizing the Dasan Pass, Fan Xu's original unconvinced psychology has basically been eliminated, and he thought to himself, maybe Deng Xing really has a way.

For the time being, there is only one military order, and the others need to be dispatched at any time according to the situation on the spot.

——————

After Zhang Han gathered 6,000 cavalry in the waste hill, he rushed to Chencang at full speed, from the northeast of Chencang to the waste hill, all belong to the Guanzhong Plain, as long as you hurry up, the cavalry can arrive in one day and one night.

Every time the team ran for a while, Zhang Han let the soldiers and horses rest for a while, and finally arrived at the northeast of Chencang in the early morning.

At this time, there were already people and horses, and there were scouts among the cavalry, Zhang Han asked the scouts to inquire about the situation, he and the soldiers slept in the open air, and then did the calculations after dawn.

After the hour, the sky was just dawn, and the six thousand cavalry of King Yong's army got up.

Tan Malai newspaper: "Report to King Yong, more than ten miles east of Chencang, by the Han army's large camp, I saw a large number of Han soldiers coming out of the camp, and they also carried siege equipment. ”

Zhang Han knew that the Han army was about to attack the city.

However, he was not worried at all, with the strength of Chencang City and the danger of its location, how could it be attacked.

Zhang Han was the most powerful general in the Qin State at the end of Qin, and of course he understood that with a few thousand cavalry, the probability of defeating the Han army was very low, and he had to wait for reinforcements to arrive before he had a certain chance.

Before he set off, he sent someone to send an order, ordering his younger brother Zhang Xuan, as well as Xiao Ping, Zhao Ben, and Nei Shibao to rush to the army with a total of more than 20,000 people. If the Han army cannot be defeated, then wait until the soldiers and horses of Sima Xin and Dong Peng come to converge, and then have a decisive battle with Liu Bang, he will try to suppress the Han army in the area of Chencang.

In his letter, Zhang Zhi said that Han Jun was very powerful, which made Zhang Han pay attention to it. If Sima Xin and Dong Peng can't defeat Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu is still there, as long as someone is sent to report to Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu will not be able to sit idly by.

In short, Zhang Han does not believe that he has the possibility of failure.

The reason why the cavalry came quickly was not only to inquire about the news, but also to find fighters. The cavalry had a great advantage over the infantry, and as long as there was the right time, they would quickly attack and inflict heavy damage on the Han army, and if they could not find a suitable opportunity, they would wait for reinforcements to arrive before making plans.

If the enemy army is attacking the city, it can also be regarded as the right time, and if the cavalry raids the siege force, it will definitely deal a major blow to the enemy army.

"Brethren, follow me!"

Six thousand cavalrymen mounted their horses and set off with Zhang Han.

In the Han military camp, Deng Yulong got up at half past five as usual, and in the winter season, it would not dawn until after seven o'clock.

The attendants brought in all the toiletries.

In this era, many people do not pay attention to hygiene, men have to take a bath every few days, and often do not wash their faces in winter.

Deng Yulong has traveled through modern times, not only his speech and demeanor are very different from others, but also he pays special attention to hygiene.

In the past, when he was in the army, Deng Yulong had to wash his face in the morning and insisted on taking a bath once a day, even if the weather was cold, at most every other day. Deng Yulong is a general, and his subordinates naturally obey this small request.

Of course, this must be done when conditions permit, and if you lead troops to go on the expedition, in some cases there will be no such conditions.

Deng Yulong washed up, and after eating breakfast, he came out to move his muscles outside the tent.

After the army sets out, there will be a kettle who is in charge of timekeeping to follow.

In the barracks, under normal circumstances, the soldiers get up at half past five, gather at six o'clock, and then eat. Of course, this is only under normal circumstances, and if there is an emergency, you must gather at any time to listen to the military order.

The sky is gradually bright, and after the cold air, the sky is clear on the land of Guanzhong.

At two o'clock, a scout hurried into the camp and came to the tent.

"Report to the general, I found the enemy cavalry more than ten miles to the east, and there were several thousand."

The cavalry really came, and Deng Yulong didn't know who the leader was. No matter who it was, since he came, he would hit him hard, and he immediately sent someone to give orders to Fan Hao and Kong Ju.

The 80,000 Han troops gathered on the outskirts of Chencang City and set up a continuous camp, and the 6,000 cavalry were in one of the camps.

A fast horse hurried into the cavalry camp, and on horseback were the general's heralds.

"General Fan, General Kong, our scouts found that there were enemy cavalry more than ten miles away, and the general had an order to order you to go to battle immediately."

Finally waiting for the enemy to appear, Fan Xu immediately became excited, and set off with all his troops and horses.

At this time, the other three camps of the Han army were busy, and a large number of Han infantry came out of two of them; In another camp, soldiers pushed out siege equipment such as trebuchets, ladders, and carts.

Cao Shen immediately commanded the siege troops outside the walled gate.

Last night in the main general's account, Fan Xu said that Chen Cang was difficult to attack, and later he specially asked Fan Xu about the situation in Chen Cangcheng, and Fan Xu told him what he saw outside Chen Cangcheng yesterday afternoon, and Cao Shen was depressed at that time.

His military ability is not bad, and he knows that if he wants to forcibly attack the city, unless he is constantly attacking the city and is willing to pay the price of tens of thousands of people, it is possible to capture Chen Cang.

This is an errand that is destined to be unfinished, since the general has an order, he can only carry it out, maybe the general has another plan.

At this time, I saw the cavalry camp on the other side, the cavalry came out quickly, led by Fan Hao and Kong Ju, and went to the northeast with the soldiers.

The cavalry naturally also saw the siege troops, and Fan Xu deliberately rode his horse to Cao Shen.

"Haha! Zhang Han's cavalry appeared, and the general ordered me to fight! ”

Fan Xu smiled and spoke, with excitement on his face.

Cao Shen said helplessly: "You are good, you will win the battle soon, and the king of Han and the general are waiting for you to return triumphantly." And I, on the other hand, can only do the kind of drudgery that has no results. ”

Fan Xu said: "I didn't do the drudgery of repairing the plank road before, and there will be more battles in the future." In terms of leading soldiers, you are better than me, and there will definitely be a time when you will kill the enemy in the future. I'll go too. ”

He raised the reins, and the horse galloped away.

Cao Shen looked at Fan Xu's distant back, wished him a triumphant return in his heart, and set off to the east of Chencang City with his soldiers and horses.
