Chapter 617 Threatening the people must be beaten severely
"Now we have one last step to go. Send some reliable generals to take over the army. Is there a candidate for General Qin? Han Xin asked.
"It's easy to do. I select a few hundred veterans from the army.... ”
"That's too random, isn't it?"
Qin Qiong frowned and said, "What does General Yihan mean?" ”
Han Xin said: "Before coming to Yecheng, I asked General Li Jing for 10,000 soldiers. These 10,000 soldiers are all from Yangzhou. is a veteran who has followed Bai Qi for many years. Later, it was incorporated into the 2nd Group Army, from south to west, and then to Hebei, after countless battles. It can be said to be the elite of the elite. You might as well integrate them all into the newly formed army. Served as centurion, lieutenant and other official positions. The extra soldiers are then evenly distributed among the battalions and serve as sergeants and captains. In this way, the possibility of rebellion by the army can be greatly reduced. ”
"I was prepared." Qin Qiong smiled: "Okay, just listen..." ”
Night.
Qin Qiong sent people to the school field and invited the captured generals of the Cao army, all centurions and above, to the Assassin's Mansion. More than 2,000 people in total (some of whom died in battle). They lined up and were guarded by heavily armed soldiers.
It didn't take long...
Han Xin led the 1st Brigade to arrive, escorted the more than 2,000 people, and drove out of Yecheng.
Bang bang bang...
Go to a clearing outside the city and execute them all!
Next.
It's noon.
Han Xin and Qin Qiong led 10,000 elites to the school field to announce the generals who were appointed. Distribute all the weapons and armor. In order to motivate the soldiers, they also offered wine and meat as rewards. It was celebrated for three days.

The siege of Wuhuan Shan was not smooth, and he retreated to the north of Yecheng to garrison. He knew that Han Xin had come to Yecheng and had 10,000 new troops in his hands! Afraid of the combat effectiveness of the new army, he did not dare to attack the city, and was unwilling to retreat, so he hesitated for several days.
"Yu Danyu, Han Xin's 1st Army, once shined in the Battle of Jingjiao and the Battle of Yizhou. Defeat Zhuge Liang's army of millions in a row. The range of the assault rifle and the power of the grenade, you also saw it. Do you think our warhorses can win? Yan Rou said to the crowd.
"What's your idea?" He sat down unwillingly.
Yan Rou said: "In order to preserve strength, my subordinates suggest that we immediately retreat north. Plunder all the way back to Youzhou, and join Gao Yun's 70,000 troops, and then depending on the situation. or capture Youzhou, or withdraw to Wuhuan. ”
"Hmph..."
Badun said very unhappily: "Let's come here with great fanfare, using 100,000 iron horsemen and tens of thousands of stone grains. Now that you're not working, you're going back? How do I explain to my people? ”
"This..."
Yan Rou's mind turned, she thought for a while, and said, "Yu Danyu, Lu Bu is about to take over the world. If we Wuhuan want to survive, we have to rely on the Celestial Empire. If you go too far, in the future... ”
"Afraid of what? We have war horses in the grassland, and they come and go freely. No matter how strong Lu Bu is, dare to go to my territory? Hum! Badun walked over and said, "Mr. Yan, don't persuade me anymore." Let's talk about how this battle should be fought. I must break through Yecheng and get the food in it. Otherwise, our people will be in danger of running out of food. ”
Yan Rou saw that he had eaten the scales and was heartbroken, and he had to fight Han Xin and capture Yecheng. That is, he said: "Yu Shan Yu." Our greatest advantage is the mobility of the cavalry. If you have to fight. He lured the enemy out and annihilated him in the southern border of Wei County. The terrain there is the flattest, suitable for our army to charge and kill. ”
"Then how do you lure the enemy out?"
"It's actually quite simple." Yan Rou sneered and said, "As long as you take the people in Wei County and capture 200,000 people to the battlefield." Send a letter of war to Han Xin and Qin Qiong, telling them that if they don't come to fight, they will slaughter all the people. When Qin Qiong and Han Xin arrive, do you dare not come? ”
"Hahaha... That's a great trick! ”
His eyes lit up, he took a few steps back and forth, and said excitedly: "If Qin Qiong and Han Xin want to protect the people, they have to go to the city to face the battle. And it's to the place I prescribed. Mr. Yan, this strategy is really poisonous! ”
"Without further ado, if you have already decided, let's get ready as soon as possible. Beware of change. Yan Judo.
"Okay."
Bandun summoned the leaders of several tribes and commanded, "Go and arrest the people of the counties at once." Men and women, young and old, all arrested. Send them to the southern border of Wei County to be confined. ”
"No..."
The leaders of several tribes replied.
Yan Rou personally wrote a battle letter and sent someone to send it to Qin Qiong and Han Xin.
At this time.
The 300,000 captives in Yecheng have been reorganized.
The 10,000 soldiers that Han Xin borrowed from Li Jing were also distributed among the 300,000 people, some serving as centurions, some serving as tenth commanders, and some as captains and lieutenants. It was divided into five camps: left, right, front, back, and center.
After the reorganization was completed, weapons and armor were distributed, and under the leadership of Qin Qiong, some simple training was conducted.
"Report..."
A soldier came in: "General, Wuhuan has sent a war letter." ”
Qin Qiong and Han Xin were dining.
"Bring it." Qin Qiong put down the dishes and chopsticks and took the war book in his hand.
Open it.
Just one look.
Qin Qiong slapped the table and said angrily: "Wuhuan thief, it's really hateful!" ”
"Why is General Qin so excited?" Han Xin asked.
"This is their war book, take a look." Qin Qiong handed the battle book to Han Xin.
Han Xin couldn't help but clench his fists when he saw half of it: "The two armies are fighting, and the people are harmed, especially shameless!" ”
"Wuhuan dares to threaten the lives of 200,000 people, I must fight!" Qin Qiong said.
"Hmm."
Han Xin put away the battle book and said, "Our newly reorganized army is all veterans, and there is no need for deliberate training. Now that Wuhuan has written a war letter, let's take it. Beat him up! ”
"Good!" Qin Qiong said: "I'll send someone to give an order now, and tomorrow I will raise troops to meet Wuhuan!" ”
..................
Han Xin and Qin Qiong finished eating. Gather your generals and start discussing countermeasures. If you want to face it, it will be a decisive battle. Not only to win, but also to win beautifully, to wipe out all 200,000 alien iron horsemen in Jizhou.
For Han Xin and Qin Qiong, who had no cavalry, it was by no means an easy task.
"The enemy claims to be 200,000, but in fact there are less than 170,000. And we, who have just collected 300,000 troops, are more than twice as powerful as the aliens! There was also General Han Shin's 1st Army, which was extremely combative. I believe we have the right to win this battle. Qin Qiong said.
"But..."
Qin Qiong opened the map and hung it behind his back: "The difficulty is that it is difficult, to annihilate all the enemy's 170,000 horsemen!" You must know that the counties of Jizhou, whether to the east, south, or north, are all flat, which is conducive to the galloping of war horses. They can escape by taking a loophole. Therefore, before going to war, we must have a careful plan so that no one person escapes the net. ”
"General Han, do you have any suggestions?" Qin Qiong asked Han Xin.
