Chapter 99: Han Daochang

Rest for the night.

In the early morning, the east was white and foggy, Ji Xuanling straightened out the military horses and led the army horses to Yicheng non-stop.

Throughout the land of Penang, after Jing Hongyang was defeated and fled, only the Chu army commanded by Han Daochang remained.

If it rises up, no one will endanger Penang.

Therefore, Han Daochang will die?

Yicheng.

Han Daochang led the army to gallop over.

After sending scouts to reconnoiter the nearby terrain, he personally led his troops to reconnoitre, and after mastering the nearby terrain, in order to prevent the Qin army from being on the high ground, control the water source of the Longjiang River, flood the Chu army, and repeat the mistake of Gongsun Ang.

After studying the nearby terrain in detail, he chose a mountainous plateau to set up camp.

The Chu army was condescending, not only being able to raise its eyes to monitor the Qin army in Yicheng, but also to avoid the Qin army's sneak attack.

The army was stationed, and he sent his soldiers to control the nearby water source to prevent the Qin army from poisoning the water and cutting off its water source.

After ensuring that the situation of the Chu army was not threatened and there were no worries, Han Daochang sent elites to attack the city one after another, attacking and harassing the Qin army in the city, and on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers to continue to build high platforms at the dam that the Qin army had built, cut off the water flow, and wanted to flood the city.

Yicheng is the only way to Xianyang, seize Yicheng, march into Xianyang, such as exploring the bag to get things.

In Yicheng, Huo Shangying learned what Han Daochang had done, and felt that the crisis was imminent.

Han Daochang led 40,000 soldiers, long-distance attack, prepared, only 20,000 defenders in Yicheng, the city is broken and the wall is low, it is not easy to hold on to wait for reinforcements, just in terms of quantity, the Qin army is at a disadvantage.

Moreover, Han Daochang has long been famous all over the world, and he has rich experience in siege operations, on the other hand, he himself has a very high reputation among the sages of Longdong, but he has rare combat experience, and the first time he led his troops to fight against this fierce general, it was a great test for him.

The most important thing is that Han Daochang led the army to be on the high ground, controlling the water of the Longjiang River, and wanting to play Yicheng with water, whether it is a strong attack or flooding, if it succeeds, Yicheng will change hands, and Xianyang will be in danger.

This person is not simple!

Huo Shangying felt the crisis deeply, considered it all, and after deducing the pros and cons, he decided to take the risk and send elite cavalry to attack, cut off the water source of the Chu army, and use fire oil, fire, and rockets to set fire to the mountain and eliminate the Chu army.

Within a few days, the two armies attacked each other, the Qin army fought to the death, occupied the water source of the Chu army, and then when they stormed the burning mountain, they were defeated by Han Daochang's army, and the soldiers were defeated, and there were many casualties.

After losing the water source, Han Daochang was afraid of the turmoil of the army, so he sent the army to destroy the dam, flooding Yicheng, the flood swept in, Yicheng was reduced to a swamp, and the Qin army was almost half lost.

However, Huo Shangying led the remnants of the army and still barely occupied most of the high ground in the city.

"This Huo Shangying, it's not simple, peel off the cocoon, find out the weakness of the Chu army, and lead the troops to attack it!" In the military tent, Han Daochang was calm with his arms, looked directly at the map with tiger eyes, and said in a playful voice: "Today, the water is full of Yicheng, and you can still lead the troops to hold a few highlands, it is really the nine lives of a tanuki." ”

"General, the water of the Longjiang River is rushing eastward, causing the west gate of Yicheng, the city wall collapsed, and the houses were destroyed. A general came back from the reconnaissance, and his expression was full of uncontrollable joy and reported to Han Daochang.

Han Daochang put on iron armor, crossed the sword, raised his head and looked firm and firm, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Ji Xuanling, Ji Xuanling, let you lead the army to be invincible in Longdong, now Yicheng is about to change hands, and the door to Xianyang City will be opened, see how you resolve it?"

Restraining the sneering smile at the corner of his mouth, Han Daochang commanded categorically: "Since the city wall of the west gate of Yicheng has collapsed, immediately mobilize the elite and enter from the west gate, if I capture Yicheng, the general will occupy Sanjiang City."

The Chu army won both great victories in Penang, and when Yuan Ci heard the news, he would inevitably send generals to help. At this time, the Qin army was far away in Anzhou and Fengzhou, and our army was pressing towards Xianyang, unless Ji Xuanling was a winged tiger, otherwise, no one would be able to stop the general from destroying Qin! ”

Destroy Qin?

That's right, Han Daochang led the army into Qin, insisted on leading the troops to kill Yicheng, and had a plan to destroy Qin.

"General, the flood has not receded, and the outside of the city is full of water, which is not conducive to the march!" There are generals who suggest.

"Inside and outside the West Gate, the situation is similar, since the two armies are in a similar environment, it is not impossible to fight!" Han Daochang's voice was generous and powerful, and his attitude was unquestionable.

When the generals heard this, they still had concerns, and at this time, a scout rushed into the military tent without passing the word, knelt down on one knee and saluted Han Daochang: "General, it's not good, the grain and grass camp in Fanzhen has been destroyed, the big battalion in the army has changed hands, and the general has led the army to move to Yuejiang City." ”

Suddenly hearing the shocking news, Han Daochang's face was full of horror in an instant.

As if he had just woken up from a dream, he stood up abruptly and asked, "What did you say, the military rations were destroyed, the military camp changed hands, and the general led the army to Yuejiang City?" ”

Han Daochang doesn't believe it, he really doesn't believe it!

Jing Hongyang's ability, he knows it well, although he is not a famous general of Chu State, but he has led the army to garrison Yuejiang City for many years, and in Longdong, he still ensures that Chu does not lose an inch of land.

The defender of Sanjiang City, Wei Che, with 20,000 Qin troops, rose up to attack the grain and grass camp in Fanzhen, frustrating Jing Hongyang's edge, did he despise this person before the war?

The scout did not hesitate when he heard this, and told Han Daochang about the battle situation of Luling City and Sanjiang City.

As the scouts reported one after another, Han Daochang's face gradually turned pale, his eyes were angry and fearful, and a piercing chill swept through his body.

"Ji Xuanling?"

"Ji Xuanling didn't lead the army to Fengyang County, but attacked Luling across the sea and swept away the money and food that Yuan Ci had accumulated for many years, and now led tens of thousands of Qin troops to sneak into Baishui County quietly, and after defeating Jing Hongyang, didn't he say that the Qin army would rush to the aid of Yicheng?"

"This thief is so cunning, and he really impresses Ben General!" After understanding his own situation, Han Dao's eyes were frightened and nervous, and he scolded angrily, admiring and resenting Ji Xuanling.

Jing Hongyang retreated, Yuan Ci was defeated, he led the army to lose the source of grain and grass here, and now the Qin army is pressing, and will face the front of the Qin army on both roads.

The plan to seize Yicheng, go north to attack Qin, and directly take Xianyang suddenly ran aground.

"General, before the general withdraws his troops, he specially ordered the general to lead the troops to withdraw from Baishui County and return to Yuejiang City to make plans!" Scout debriefing.

Evacuate?

When Han Dao heard this, he became more and more annoyed.

The Qin army held Sanjiang City to the death, cutting off the retreat to Yuejiang City, and could quickly force into Yicheng, if the withdrawal army happened to collide with it head-on, how could he lead the troops back to Yuejiang City.

"This bastard Ji Xuanling, bad will be a good thing!"

Han Daochang's tone was indignant, judging the situation, and after coordinating the overall situation, he decided to temporarily withdraw the army, and the tiger eyes swept over the generals and said: "Pass the general's order, order the remnants of the army to stay in the barracks, feint to attack Yicheng, pull out the camp of the army, and evacuate along the trail." ”

Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood!

The Qin army is at its peak, and it is difficult to predict the victory or defeat of the Chu army, besides, the Chu army has lost its water source, grain and grass, and the army will be chaotic after a long battle, how to meet the Qin army.

The generals in the tent knew that the situation was dangerous, and this was not a place to stay for a long time, so they acted quickly after receiving the order.
