Chapter Seventy-Five: The Crisis of the Chu State

Han Hao looked at Han Ning and shouted, "Brother Han Ningxian, the King of Chu treats your family well, why did he rebel?" ”

"Hehe, treat my family well? The deaths of my eldest brother and fourth brother have nothing to do with Han Xuan! And Han Xuan was able to win Jiangdong thanks to my father's full support! This Jiangdong land should have been my home! Han Ning raised his horsewhip and pointed at Han Hao and scolded angrily.

Han Qi stepped forward and shouted towards the city, "Han Hao, I advise you not to be ignorant of current affairs!" General Cao Ren is leading an army of 80,000 to attack the Wet Dock, and will soon come to join our army! At that time, our army was more than 100,000 troops, and even if Han Xuan came, he had no power to return to the sky! ”

"In this case, I, Han Hao, can only lead the entire city of soldiers and civilians to fight you to the death!" Han Hao gave an order, and the crossbowmen in the city shot sharply at the city, and Han Qi and Han Ning hurriedly retreated into the formation.

"Siege!" Under Han Chang's order, Zhang Ba led his troops to begin the siege of the city, and under the cover of trebuchets, the rebels pushed the ladder close to the city wall.

Han Hao ordered the soldiers defending the city to fall down the hot oil that had been prepared, and the rebel soldiers who climbed the city were so scalded that they rolled down the ladder with a wail, smashing away many rebels who were climbing up.

This was not the end, Huang Xu commanded the soldiers defending the city to fire rockets under the city, and the arrows in the sky not only took the lives of countless rebels, but also ignited the wooden ladder. Jianye City is built of stone, so there is no need to worry about burning the walls of your own city with fire.

Because of this, Han Hao commanded the 5,000 defenders in the city to repel several attacks by Han Qi's 60,000 rebels. But Han Qi did not give up, and now that there are rebellions all over Jiangdong, Han Qi expects that Han Xuan will not rush back to Jianye so soon.

"Pass my order, those who enter the city first will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan!" Han Qi saw that he couldn't capture Jianye City for a long time, and he was annoyed and angry.

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the rebels are suddenly like chickens and blood, rushing up the ladder. At the beginning, some rebels rushed up the city wall, although Huang Xu led 500 school swordsmen to block the opening, but a large number of rebels poured up from the rest of the city wall.

Just at the last moment, Han Xing and Chen Biao led a team of soldiers to arrive, all of them holding firearms. After a volley, all the rebels who rushed up to the city were grounded, and the remnants of the rebels were driven off the walls.

"Is this the power of firearms? It would be nice to equip the whole army, and it would be much easier to repel the rebels. Huang Xu was slightly stunned, danced the coiled dragon knife and slashed the two rebels, and then went to the rest of the doors to rescue.

Han Qi's rebels attacked Jianye City and failed to capture it for three days, and the naval army led by Han Xuan also encountered obstacles from the Wei army and the rebels on the way back to the division, delaying for a lot of time.

When Han Xuan arrived at Xianxi, he learned that Cao Ren had led tens of thousands of infantry cavalry into the mustache, and it was the general of the Chu army who guarded the mustache.

Cao Ren wanted to seize Zhongzhou, an important place near the Wet Dock, first, and deliberately feigned to attack Xianxi in order to attack the east and the west. Zhu Huan heard that Cao Ren led a large army to take Xianxi, although he was worried that it was Cao Ren's suspicious plan, but he was afraid that Han Xuan would be attacked in Xianxi, so Zhu Huan sent his army and horses to rescue Xianxi, leaving 5,000 horsemen to defend the city.

Suddenly, Cao Ren ordered the general Chang Diao to join Zhuge Qian and Wang Shuang, and led 50,000 elite soldiers to rush to the city. And all the armies were afraid.

Zhu Huan pressed his sword and said: "The victory or defeat is in the general, not in the number of soldiers." The Art of War: 'If the guest soldiers are doubled and the main soldiers are half, the main soldiers can still be better than the guest soldiers.' 'The Wei soldiers came all the way again, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, I and the generals were stationed in the high city, near the river and the mountains, waiting for work with ease, and controlling the guests with the master, although Cao Pi's personal expedition was not enough to worry, not to mention Cao Ren's generation! ”

Zhu Huan then disguised the Whisker Dock as unguarded, and ordered the banner to be silenced, showing weakness to lure the Wei army to attack the city.

Cao Ren really sent his son Cao Tai to attack Xuwu urgently, and he led 10,000 troops to support Cao Tai, and sent the general Chang Diao to lead Zhuge Qian, Wang Shuang and other 5,000 soldiers, and at dawn took an oil tanker to attack Zhongzhou, and the wives and children of Zhu Huan's troops were in Zhongzhou.

Cao Ren personally led 10,000 people to stay in Lugao as a backup for Cao Tai and others. Seeing Cao Ren's arrangement, Jiang Ji hurriedly suggested: "The Chu army occupies the west coast and lists the warships upstream, if the Wei army attacks Shazhou Island located downstream, it will be tantamount to the danger of self-defeat." ”

"The old man has been fighting with the ancestor for many years, and he still needs you to teach me how to use soldiers?" Cao Ren did not listen to Jiang Ji's good words, and the military order was issued.

Zhu Huan sent the general Yan Gui to intercept the oil tanker of Chang Diao and others, and personally led the army to attack Cao Tai at night, burning his camp, killing and wounding a lot, and then took advantage of the situation to counterattack.

Chang Diao urged the army to kill Zhu Huan in a hurry, and the two armies faced each other, and Zhu Huan flew out with a horizontal knife and took Chang Diao directly. The battle is less than Shihe, and Zhu Huan slashes often under the horse.

The Chu soldiers took advantage of the situation to rush and kill for a while, and the Wei soldiers were defeated, and countless people died. Zhu Huan won a great victory and won countless banners and war horses. Cao Ren led the troops to come to the aid later, but saw a large number of Chu troops coming out of Xianxi.

It turned out that Han Xuan had joined the soldiers and horses sent by Zhu Huan and hurried to attack the Wei army with Zhu Huan. When Han Xuan arrived, he saw that the Wei army had been defeated and retreated, and saw Cao Ren's banner, so he ordered Gan Ning and Jiang Qin to lead the army straight to Cao Ren's main formation.

"Not good! It was Han Xuan who personally led the army to help, and the general quickly withdrew! Cao Ren's deputy general Zhuge Qian pointed to the army of Gan Ning and Jiang Qin who rushed forward and hurriedly said.

Cao Ren then led the army to retreat in a hurry, and Zhuge Qian led the army to stop the Chu army desperately, but the outnumbered people were finally defeated, and Zhuge Qian was stabbed to death by Ling Tong's gun.

Cao Ren's general Wang Shuang relied on his martial arts to fight Gan Ning, and Gan Ning fought with him in a fifteen-year battle without winning or losing. However, Wang Shuang was brave after all, and it didn't take long for Jiang Qin and Gan Ning to work together to capture him.

Zhu Huan led the army to rush from behind, drowned and beheaded countless Wei troops, captured more than 3,000 people, and Cao Ren fled in defeat. Soon after, among the other two armies of the Wei army, Xiahou Shang was defeated by Zhou Yi, and Cao Xiu was repulsed by LΓΌ Fan, and the Wei army was forced to withdraw.

And Han Xuan left Zhu Huan to continue to guard the wet beard, and led the army to Jianye in the starry night.

It's just that Jianye City has suffered a greater crisis at this time. Lu Yi, the school of Chinese calligraphy, united with the scholars who were dissatisfied with Han Xuan's new policy to lead the soldiers to besiege Hanfu, wanting to capture Han Xuan and Han Hao's relatives to coerce Han Hao to surrender.

Huang Wudie came to the door under the escort of Shi Ah and a group of family members and government soldiers, and shouted angrily at Lu Yi and the others: "Lu Yi, you are the minister of the king of Chu, and you want to rebel now?" ”

Lu Yi shouted at the thousands of rebels behind him: "The army stepped forward, rushed into the mansion, and captured Han Hao's family!" ”

"You dare!" Huang Wudie raised the knife, and the coiling dragon knife technique was wide open, and no one could get close.

But the number of rebels is too much, and Huang Wudie can't cope with it. Huang Wudie knew that Shi A's martial arts were strong, so she hurriedly said to him: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, Brother Shi, you go and capture Lu Yi." I led my men to guard the gates of the house. ”

Shi Ah understood, and his sword skills were opened, sweeping away several rebels who were blocking the way. Then he used light skills, turned into a remnant of the Dao, and suddenly flew to Lu Yi's side.

Shi Ah just wanted to make a move, but saw a man in black behind Lu Yi suddenly jump up and wave a dagger at him. This was a killer move, and Shi Ah hurriedly came to the air and flipped his body in time, dodging the blow of the man in black.

"Who are you?" Shi Ah was very surprised by the man's skill.

"Shia, hehehe, interesting." The man in black didn't talk nonsense, and after missing a blow, he swung his dagger and continued to fight with Shi A.

"Oh no! Lu Yi led his troops to besiege Hanfu. A Han government soldier rushed to the city tower in a panic and asked Han Hao for help.

"What!" Han Hao and Han Xing were both shocked.

Han Hao hurriedly said to Han Xing: "Xing'er, I'll give you a thousand elite soldiers, you hurry back to Han Mansion to rescue!" ”

"However, the defense of the city is already difficult, and ...... again" Han Xing hesitated.

"Leave it alone! I have my own strategy to retreat from the enemy! Han Hao urged Han Xing to act quickly.

After Han Xing left, Han Hao looked at Wang Meng, the guard with the sword behind him, and said, "Give me the Tai'a sword!" ”
