Chapter 144: Capture Chaoge City
There is no regret medicine in the world, when Sima Xin was accepted, Sima Wei also took a fancy to Sima Xin's strategy. In terms of strategy, Sima Xin is still good, although it is not as good as the strategies of Zhang Liang, Fan Zeng, Chen Ping, Kuai Che and others, it is still much better than ordinary people.
Sima Wei was scared!
I heard that Zhang Han's army was advancing steadily, recovering everything it went, and taking over the local power in a timely manner, forming a government at the township and village levels, and completely controlling the areas taken over.
The key is that the people welcomed the arrival of the Qin army, and many cities and towns basically welcomed the Qin army. As soon as this information was received, Sima Wei knew in his heart that King Yin had done it.
Sima Wei asked Sima Xin to call him and said, "Brother, Zhang Han's army will be killed in Chaoge City in a few days, we are afraid that we will not be able to resist, or we will run away and go to Xiang Yu." ”
Sima Xin shook his head and said: "Big brother, Zhang Han only has 20,000 horses under him, and the eldest brother has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, why be afraid of Zhang Han?"
Besides, let's defend Chaoge City, Zhang Han's 20,000 soldiers and horses can't attack at all, and they will only lose their troops. After a long time, Zhang Han's soldiers and horses suffered too much loss, and he could only retreat one way. ”
Sima Wei questioned: "The problem is that Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, can't stop the god of death at all, and it is not possible that the god of death will open the city gate and surrender as soon as the god of death arrives, in that case, the god of death will turn around and kill Chaoge, what should we do?" ”
"No, the Grim Reaper should strike at Acting King Zhao Xie first. When Daijun is taken, Zhang Han can't take the song of the court, and the god of death will kill, we have time to run, don't be too anxious.
Let's at least resist for a while, and then flash people, and it looks good when we get to Xiang Yu. If you don't let go of a shot, Qin Jun will run away before he arrives, and he will have a hard time when he arrives at Xiang Yu! ”
Sima Wei believed in Sima Xin's analysis, after all, in terms of strategy, Sima Wei knew that Sima Xin was very powerful. Being able to persuade Zhang Han to lead 200,000 Qin troops to surrender is not something that ordinary people can do, Sima Xin did it, and directly killed Zhang Han.
I think that at the beginning, if it wasn't for Sima Xin who persuaded Zhang Han to surrender, the alliance of princes might not have been able to defeat Zhang Han's 200,000 Qin army. You must know that since Zhang Han sent out his troops, he has won consecutive battles without a single defeat.
In terms of leading troops to fight, Zhang Han is very good. Not to mention the other princes, the Chu army was also defeated by Zhang Han, and he also killed Xiang Liang, the commander of the Chu army.
Half a month later, Zhang Han led 20,000 soldiers and horses to Chaoge City, and saw that Sima Wei did not dare to fight, and prepared to defend the city to the death.
Zhang Han had no choice but to give the order to attack the city. However, Chen Ping next to him immediately suggested: "General Zhang, don't be so troublesome, you now send people to dig tunnels with great fanfare, you only need to dig under the city wall, you don't need to dig in again, and then tell General Zhang when the time comes." ”
Seeing Chen Pingshen's mysterious appearance, it was not easy to ask, so according to Chen Ping's plan, he began to blatantly dig tunnels.
Sima Wei and Sima Xin on the city wall were dumbfounded, did they play like this? People dig tunnels secretly and quietly, Zhang Han is good, and he digs directly and openly, and he doesn't take Sima Wei and Sima Xin in his eyes.
Sima Xin smiled and said: "Big brother, don't pay attention to it, let's dig a ditch in the city wall, let the soldiers take a big tank, fill it with water, put it on the edge of the city wall, send a few soldiers to wait, and report immediately when they see the water waves." ”
Sima Wei did not question it, and immediately sent someone to arrange to dig a ditch by the city wall, and also prepared a lot of fire oil, ready to pour it into it at any time.
The Qin army attacks the city every day, the problem is that the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, just beating the gongs and drums, the soldiers retreat far away from the city wall, there is a siege, it is completely a training is good!
The soldiers defending the city didn't dare to be careless, God knows what the Qin army thought, what if there was a real attack? Therefore, the soldiers of the defenders of the city wall were very nervous and kept guarding carefully.
A few days later, the tunnel was dug up to the city wall, and the soldiers immediately came to report. Zhang Han invited Chen Ping to inquire about the plan.
Chen Ping smiled and said: "Before the lord set out on the expedition, he handed over some things to the lowly position, all in the hands of the Jinyi guard, what kind of explosives package is called, it can directly collapse the city wall." ”
Zhang Han was completely speechless, his own lord was always mysterious and unpredictable, he could be amazing every time, and he could achieve unexpected results.
Regarding Chen Ping's explanation, Zhang Han believes. Zhang Han knew that no one knew how many new toys there were in the hands of his father-in-law Ye Tong, only Huang Yueying of Dingjun Mountain knew.
The problem is that Huang Yueying is nominally the secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology, but she never participates in any meetings, and has been staying in the core forbidden area of Dingjun Mountain, and no one can see her!
The locals under Ye Tong knew in their hearts that the two most mysterious people under Ye Tong, Shangguan Wan'er and Huang Yueying, were both official scholars, but they never participated in any discussion and stayed in Dingjun Mountain. It was heavily guarded, and no one dared to approach it.
Zhang Han asked, "Mr. Chen, what next?" ”
Chen Ping said: "Sima Wei and Sima Xin in Chaoge City would never have dreamed that we could collapse the city wall." Therefore, the attack should be carried out at night, so that we can win Chaoge in one fell swoop, the key is that we are advantageous to fight at night. ”
"Mr. Chen, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what to do, Sima Xinshan?"
Hehe!
"This ministry has been considered for a few days, and Sima Xin and Sima Wei will definitely run away after the city wall is broken, there is no doubt about this.
The route of the two escaped, according to a normal person, they must have fled south. Because they can run to Xiang Yu if they flee south, the two of them will definitely run to Xiang Yu.
Ordinary people must have laid an ambush at the south city gate, but Sima Xin had a certain strategy, he would not flee to the south gate, but to the east gate, and after escaping from the city, he would change his route and flee south again.
General Zhang, you have to send a soldier and horse to ambush at the east city gate, once someone escapes, arrest directly, and those who dare to resist will be killed. ”、
"Mr. Chen, isn't there an ambush at the South City Gate?"
Hehe!
"General Zhang, don't worry! There is no need to ambush at the south gate, the focus is on the east gate. Also, our troops are limited, and it is impossible for us to go to ambush, so what should we do in the city?
Taking Chaoge is the main combat goal, and arresting Sima Xin is the incidental goal, General Zhang must distinguish between priorities and priorities, don't make mistakes, and in the end there will be too many losses and generals, and it is not good to treat the main bus. ”
Sima Xin ran into Chen Ping for eight lifetimes, and was counted dead by Chen Ping, how could he escape?
"Mr. Chen, let's act tonight, okay?"
"General Zhang Han, the battle is your business!"
After Jinyiwei got Chen Ping's order, as soon as the tunnel was dug, he put the explosive bag in the tunnel, which happened to be the city wall on top.
When ready, everyone evacuated the tunnels. A fuse is pulled out and waits for the order to ignite.
In the dead of night, Zhang Han sent 2,000 soldiers and horses to ambush outside the east city gate, waiting for Sima Xin to escape from the city, and then arrest him in one fell swoop.
On the fifth watch, it is the time when people sleep best and sleep the deadest, and the plan is launched. After receiving the order, Jin Yiwei immediately lit the fuse.
Whoa!
When the fuse is lit, it makes a very small sound, but it emits an unpleasant smell. In the pitch black night, the fuse was lit and quickly extended towards the tunnel like a ghost fire.
Thundered!
A few minutes later, a loud bang broke the quiet night sky. Like thunder striking thunder, the momentum was so loud that it scared people to death, and many Qin soldiers were shocked by the explosion in front of them.
With a huge explosion, there was a bang on the city wall of Chaoge, and it collapsed directly, and a section of the city wall of tens of meters collapsed.
Jin Yiwei saw Zhang Han, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and the soldiers of the Qin army stunned, standing stupidly, without attacking, so he had to whisper: "General Zhang, hurry up and order an attack, if you don't enter the defenders of the city to react, it will be too late to attack again." ”
Zhang Han, who was reminded by Jinyiwei and came back to his senses, did not hesitate at all, and shouted loudly: "Attack!" Kill into the city! ”
After speaking, Zhang Han jumped on horseback and was the first to kill the place where the city wall had collapsed. The soldiers, hearing the general's roar, came to their senses and immediately joined the tide of the attack.
Chen Ping did not participate in the attack, and after coming back to his senses, he muttered to himself: "The lord's new toy is too powerful, can this be resisted by manpower?" In the future, when attacking the city wall, you don't need to fill it with the corpses of soldiers, and use new toys to solve the problem at once. ”
The soldiers defending the city of Chaoge City suddenly made a loud noise, and they were directly frightened and trembled all over, thinking that it was the thunder of heaven and anger. Immediately I saw the city wall click and collapse directly, and the city wall of dozens of meters collapsed, which shocked the soldiers defending the city, and they never dreamed that the city wall would collapse.
The soldiers defending the city were directly frightened and dumbfounded, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and only when the Qin army attacked the city did they discover the problem. But it was too late, and it was no longer possible to stop the pace of the Qin army.
The soldiers of the Qin army were vigorous, energetic, and had a soaring fighting spirit, and resolutely suppressed those who dared to resist. Ignore the soldiers who surrendered, someone will come and take over.
The 100,000 defenders of Chaoge City, under the momentum of the Qin army's courageous advance, could not be stopped at all. Accompanied by the Qin soldiers shouting loudly, surrender and don't kill! Get down on your knees and surrender!
More and more soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered. There is no way, the soldiers all have families, all have fields, they are all from poor backgrounds, and they know that returning to the jurisdiction of the Qin Empire will be beneficial and beneficial to the people. Many soldiers did not think about resistance at all, and simply dropped their weapons and surrendered.
If one person surrenders, this will lead more and more soldiers to surrender, which is common sense and law. Therefore, the soldiers of the Qin army really did not meet soldiers who dared to resist, and basically as soon as the soldiers of the Qin army arrived and the voice came, the defender soldiers surrendered.
Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, it is precisely this principle.
The policies formulated by Ye Tong are the most beneficial policies for the people and are policies for the people. There is no such good policy in history, so it is not surprising that the soldiers defending the city surrendered.
Zhou Bo, who was attacking, muttered in a low voice: "Even if such a soldier storms the city wall, there will not be many casualties. It's all a group of soldiers who have no intention of fighting, what's the use of having more people. ”
Zhang Han led a team of soldiers to target Sima Wei's prince's mansion, but when Zhang Han arrived, Sima Wei and Sima Xin were nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Han is anxious!
didn't stop, rushed directly to the east city gate, and saw his soldiers escorting Sima Wei, Sima Xin and the captives to the city.
