Under normal circumstances, the main forces of the two armies fought a decisive battle under the city, and if there was a large camp outside the city, the Chinese army would definitely be placed inside the city, because the inside of the city would definitely be safer than the outside.

However, Duyang City was too small to fit 100,000 people, so the camp could only be camped outside the city, so it was unknown where Han He's Chinese army was.

As soon as Zhao Xun said it, many generals thought it was reasonable, and there was no shortage of voices. This is exactly the result that Ding Yanghou does not want to see:

"Then, according to General Zhao's words, how should our army find out the camp of the Jin army."

"Feint to attack Duyang City, and mainly attack the camp of the Jin army under the city, so as to find out where the Jingjun Zhongjun is."

"Then General Zhao can know that if our army attacks the city from the west, south, and north, how many soldiers and horses will be held back by our army, and if the cavalry of the Jin army counterattacks, will our army be annihilated."

"Ben will know, but Han He will never leave Duyang City."

"How do you know that Han He will not leave Duyang City, Ben Hou has already designed, and he will order the Jin army to leave Duyang City within five days and fight a decisive battle with our army."

As soon as Ding Yang Hou said this, everyone under the tent looked at each other, and Zhong Heng, the right governor, took a step forward and bowed:

"Dare to ask the Marquis of Dingyang, how to lead the Jin army to leave Duyang City."

"You are General Zhong Heng, the right governor."

"It's the last general, I don't know what Ding Yanghou has planned."

"Tomorrow, we will move the camp to Duyang City for one mile, and then capture Duyang City with a cave attack."

"Cave Attack!" Zhong Heng was surprised, and asked: "The cave attack cannot be achieved in one day, I am afraid that if our army does not attack the city for a long time, the Jin army may find signs of our army." If it comes at night, how can it be good? ”

Therefore, Ben decided that after moving the camp tomorrow, he would only feint to attack Duyang West City, and at the same time dig tunnels to enter the city. Once the tunnel was dug through, it was changed from a feint attack to a real attack, and Duyang City was taken first. Once Duyang City was conquered by our army, the Jin army had to fight a decisive battle. ”

Ding Yang Hou is confident about taking Duyang City, he plans to feint on the city wall, while digging a tunnel to meet the outside, once the Duyang City is taken, the Jin army is under the city, Han He is too late to escape, and can only be forced to fight a decisive battle. At that time, the Xian army will occupy Duyang City, and the Jin army will be defeated.

The cave attack tactics were finally approved by most of the generals, but Zhao Xun, Zhong Heng, Yao Sheng and others did not express their position, in fact, they had no bottom in their hearts.

So on the way back to the camp after the tent was dispersed, Zhong Heng asked Zhao Xun:

"General Zhao, can the Marquis of Dingyang really take Duyang City with a plan?"

"It's hard to say, but in addition, Ben General can't think of other ways to avoid both attacking the city and avoiding field battles, and it is the best strategy to attack the city." After saying that, Zhao Xun looked at Yao Sheng: "General Yao Sheng, your former army will attack the city tomorrow, and you must be careful." ”

"The last will obey. However, whether to ask Ji Weixian about this matter and see what he says. ”

"No, you can't. Ding Yang Hou still holds a grudge, if he asks him and is known by Ding Yang Hou, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to escape the involvement. Ben will be, he still doesn't dare to do anything, you General Yao Sheng is different, don't ask Ji Wei Xian about this matter, so as not to tell the truth again. ”

Ding Yang Hou in the account has already sarcastically mocked Zhao Xun, if he is looking for Wei Xian at this moment, in case Ding Yang Hou secretly makes people watch, things will be very troublesome. Moreover, the Marquis of Ding Yang designated Yao Sheng's department to start attacking the city tomorrow, obviously wanting to put Bailiyan to death.

That night, Yao Sheng summoned the commanders, commanders, chiefs, and centurions of his subordinates to discuss the siege of the city tomorrow. After the meeting ended, Baifu Changjiang Zhan privately found Bailiyan (Wei Xian), came to no one and said:

"Wei Xian, tomorrow our department will attack the city, you have to be careful."

"In addition to attacking the city, General Yao can also order other things."

"I have not commanded anything else, but I have been told to pass on your own words, and if necessary, you may raise it with me, and let me dispose of it at my discretion."

"In that case, can you get me a silk coat, a quilt, and a shield?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhan was puzzled:

"What do you want to make of silk and quilts?"

"Where it is useful, the centurion will know tomorrow."

"Well, I'll get it for you."

Jiang Zhan got a silk coat and a quilt in confusion, the quilt Baili Yan has, spring has just arrived, the temperature is not too high, every two people in the army have a bed, the cover is not a quilt, it is a blanket made of two thicker cotton cloths sewn together, just enough for two people to cover, but the effect is far inferior to the quilt.

After the silk clothes were obtained, Baili Yan cut them in two, put the upper half of his body on his body, wrapped the lower half around his body and tied it tightly, and then put on a poor leather armor with low defense.

This piece of leather armor is standard for almost all foot soldiers, and it is very light and has limited defense. The silk fabric can effectively reduce the damage of the arrow, even if the arrow is unfortunately hit, the arrow is generally difficult to shoot through the silk fabric, and the silk fabric will be directly wrapped in the arrow into the body, so that it is easier to pull out the front head and reduce the pain.

Of course, if it is a crossbow arrow, the steel plate may not be useful.

As for the quilt, the temperature in the south is high in winter, and the quilt is thinner, which is thicker than the air conditioning quilt.

After that, Bailiyan returned to his tent with a quilt and a shield. A Wu lives in a military tent, that is, five people, and now there are only four of Zhusheng's Wu Lian, including himself, and he sleeps in a bunk with Xiao, before he was wrapped in a bunk alone.

When he returned to the tent, he listened to the sound of snoring, put the quilt aside, and lay down on himself. As soon as he lay down, Xiao came up and clung to it.

"Xiao, you haven't slept yet."

"Brother Wei is not here, I'm afraid."

"Don't be afraid, follow the eldest brother tomorrow, don't leave the eldest brother, you know."

"Well, Xiao doesn't leave Brother Wei."

Although Xiao is only fifteen, he is actually a child who has not grown up, and it is personal nature to be afraid of death, let alone a child.

The next day, the horn sounded an hour earlier, before dawn. The battalions began to urge to get food, and after eating, they began to urge the camp to pull out.

Because more than 3,000 people under Yao Sheng's command were attacking the city today, under the urging of the military order, more than 11,000 people from the other two departments left the camp ahead of schedule and stood by at a distance of more than 700 meters from Duyang City to provide cover for the army to move to camp.

On the way out of the camp, Bailiyan compacted the folded quilt and tied it tightly to his chest with a rope, covering his neck all at once, and then spread a layer of damp soil in the middle and poured some water, weighing more than seven or eight catties.

Walking on the road like a pregnant woman, it quickly attracted the attention of the whole team. Wu Changzhusheng couldn't help but ask:

"I said Wei Xian, what are you doing with a bundle of quilts on your stomach. In case you get hit by a rocket, don't burn yourself to death. ”

"The quilt is wet and can't be burned."

"Yes, you scholars are just smart, and you can come up with such ideas."

In fact, Bailiyan didn't say that it was clear, in addition to sprinkling some water in the quilt, she also sprinkled urine on it.

Walking and walking, centurion Chang Zhan also left the team and came over:

"Wei Xian, what are you doing?"

"Arrow proof. This way it will not be pierced by arrows from the front, and it will also be fireproof. Mutual aid in the head with a shield, rockets are useless. ”

"But if the enemy is pouring oil, what is the use of your outfit."

"It's better than nothing."

Of course, Bai Liyan knew that if he poured boiling oil down during the siege, he would definitely die, and the boiling oil would not only burn people, but also set fire to the crowd, and a large piece of death would be a big death. But it's better than the unprotected.

The army soon walked to the outside of Duyang City, set up a siege formation, and waited for the Chinese army to move to camp.

At this time, the banner of the Jin army could already be seen on the broken wall of Duyang City, and even Han He was hiding in the city tower at this time and watching the array of the Xian army.

About half an hour later, Marquis Ding Yang ordered someone to go to the city to shout and let Han He come out to speak. After a short while, Han He really appeared at the head of the city, and the Marquis of Ding Yang came to the city under the escort of his own soldiers:

"Han He, our army has come to the city, and the acquaintance will take the Jin army out of my Jiangdong land, otherwise you will know that my Xian army is powerful today."

"Humph!" Han He snorted coldly: "Marquis Dingyang, if you want to attack, you will attack, my 90,000 army will stick to Duyang, if you can capture it, the old man admires your Dingyang Marquis Shenwu." But I'm afraid that you, Ding Yang Hou, won't be able to capture my Duyang City. ”

"Han He's old horseman, the king of Jin treacherously instigated rebellion in the front, occupied my Jiangdong, and killed my old general Wei Dan in the back, this revenge is not avenged. What kind of hero is it to shrink in the city all day, and he has the ability to go out of the city to fight. ”

"Hehaha...... Marquis Dingyang, you are a three-year-old child when you are an old man. You bully the widow with the crowd, what face do you have to ask the old man to go out of the city to fight with you? If you want to fight in the field, the Marquis of Ding Yang can also fight with the old man with 90,000 soldiers, and the old man will accompany him. How, Ding Yang Hou. ”

"Old horseman, there's a kind of battle out of the city."

"It seems that the Marquis of Ding Yang is insincere, then forgive the old man for being disrespectful and give me arrows!"

Han He gave an order, and the arrows in the city flew wildly, but fortunately, they only landed two zhang in front of Dingyang Houma, and he really wanted him to die sincerely, and at this time, ten thousand arrows were fired.

Han He is also cunning and abnormal, if he really lets Ding Yang Hou fight 90,000 against 90,000, with the current state of the Xian army, he must lose.

Even if the Jin State is inferior to Xianguo in terms of combat ability, but at present, there are 10,000 more cavalry in Han He's hands than Xianguo, the quality of infantry is also higher than that of Xianguo, and the weapons are even stronger.

At this time, a burst of arrows came from the sky, and the Marquis of Ding Yang was angry, and under the cover of his own soldiers' shields, he turned his horse's head and withdrew to the command camp of the Chinese army.

"Pass on the military order of the Marquis, give me the siege!"

Marquis Ding Yang threw out a military order, and the Chinese army herald picked up the order to respond:

"No!"

The lieutenant officer was given the order to mount his war horse and gallop forward:

"General Yao Sheng, the governor of the left capital, listens to the order!"

"The last general!"

"Dingyang Marquis Order, your troops will attack the city quickly."

"No!"

Yao Sheng took the order, and the Chinese officer immediately turned around. After a few moments, the big army drum and trumpet followed, and Yao Sheng urged more than 3,000 people and horses to start attacking the city.

At the forefront of the Xian army's battle array was the siege camp of the former army, which was also the battalion of Yao Sheng, the governor of the left capital. The city of Duyang is small, and it only attacks the western city wall, and the army of more than 120,000 people is completely enough to use more than 3,000 horses first.

Under the sound of drums and trumpets in the front army, Yao Sheng's cloud echelon and rushing car in the siege camp bore the brunt, and the infantry of the brigade followed behind. Behind the siege camp was the preparatory siege camp, as well as archers, who were responsible for covering the siege camp siege, and then there were ballistas and improvised stone artillery carts.

After the battle of Yin Yangcheng, Han He learned the lesson of the siege and also hung grass and mud bags on the city wall to prevent bed crossbows and trebuchets from destroying the city wall, which Yao Sheng did not expect.
