Chapter 202: Momentum (36th Update)
So, a lot of things happened in Shouchun this night.
First of all, Chen Ying, the king of the anti-Qin alliance, led an army of 50,000 to attract the defenders to lead the army into battle, and attracted the defenders dozens of miles outside the city.
Then another part of the sergeants under Chen Ying's command wanted to take this opportunity to directly break through the city of Nashouchun, and they did this, but their marching speed was a little too slow, causing some of the defenders to find their traces and fight with them desperately.
It doesn't matter if this resistance is made, aren't most of the defenders being entangled by Chen Ying. For the anti-Qin army that sneaked up, it was nothing more than a matter of time.
As a result, it did take some time for the anti-Qin army to take down Shouchun, but while taking Shouchun, they still paid some price, one of which is worth mentioning is that the leaders of two small forces were shot down by Qin crossbows that they didn't know where to shoot, and then they were trampled to death by their own subordinates in the dark......
When Chen Ying, who had fought bloodily until midnight, came back, his two deputies before couldn't even find the corpses, so that although he won the city, he was also angry at some lieutenants.
Then, Chen Ying, who had already obtained Shouchun, repaired a letter overnight, informing Xiang Liang of his progress in Shouchun, and on the other hand, the two leaders who died because of his absence asked Xiang Liang for their guilt, which basically means that I am sorry for your trust, and even the lives of the two brothers have not been protected, so you better change me somewhere else!
Three days later, a fast horse passed through Surabaya County to Dangxian County, where Xiang Liang was located.
"This Chen Ying, it is really worthy of us to crown him king, and he can take down Shouchun overnight, but the key to this matter is still on the Gongzi Gao who does not know the height of the sky, this guy dares to send a rebel general Han Xin of our army who is not more than twenty years old to Shouchun to garrison, this person has repeatedly spoken wild words but has no real talent and real learning when he was under my command, if the people under the command of that Gongzi Gao are like this, it is also a great help for us."
When Xiang Liang saw this letter, he was studying with Fan Zeng where he and Xiang Yu would lead the army to attack Chen County in order to get the greatest effect, and Chen Ying's letter was not a timely rain for him.
It can be said that Chen Ying's letter even shows that the three armies are now ready, as long as Xiang Liang gives an order, taking down a mere Chen County is not a matter of holding a handle in his eyes.
Under such circumstances, Xiang Liang's spirit also began to relax slightly, and he began to explain Han Xin's matter to Fan Zeng.
For Fan Zeng, an old man, Xiang Liang can be said to have great respect, not only because he is the oldest in the army, but also because Xiang Liang can achieve such a good result in the alliance this time, and the relationship with Fan Zeng's major weight of the bear heart is too great.
Xiang Liang knew that if he didn't have Xiongxin, he would have to have a bloody storm just by saying that he wanted to take down the position of the alliance leader.
"In my opinion, that Gongzi's high-energy soldiers disintegrated Chen Sheng's hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant without blood, and even set off a bloody storm in Xianyang City several times before, so I knew that he was definitely not an ordinary man, Wu Xinhou wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to win Gongzi Gao, or don't breed contempt......"
What Fan Zeng was thinking in his heart, he really didn't say it directly, but after living for such a long time, he knew what kind of mentality Xiang Liang was now, and he also knew that the mentality was such a thing, it was not something that you could control if a strategist wanted to control it, if you said it deeply, it would definitely backfire sometimes.
That night, Xiang Liang wrote a letter and sent it to Shouchun, this time the battle made him see Chen Ying's ability, and made him believe that with Chen Ying's harmony in the south, it must be able to make Yinggao feel very uncomfortable.
As for the two small force leaders who died in the chaotic army besieging the city mentioned in Chen Ying's letter, Xiang Liang didn't pay much attention to it at all, and the death of two people of this level in such a battle was basically no different from the death of two ordinary sergeants for Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang's letter was sent to Shouchun again, and Han Xin, who had withdrawn from Shouchun gloomily, had already led an army of one or two hundred people back to Chen County according to Yinggao's instructions.
"I believe that this time I led the army to Shouchun, and today not only has not made an inch, but has lost more than 100 soldiers, and I ask my son to punish him!"
As soon as he saw Ying Gao's smiling face, Han Xin was tired for a while, and said in his heart You can be regarded as having your wish, but I let those unknown sergeants under my command complain and ruin, people say that under the hands of General Meng Tian, there has never been such a bag, this pot your son Gao naturally does not have to carry it, I Han Xin has to carry it, just because I took them to attack Shouchun and got such a little trust, this is not a little bit left.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? If you pretend to be crazy and stupid again, I will be punished for the great crime of losing such a heavy land as Shouchun, what do you think? ”
Han Xin was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Yinggao's eyebrows, but it didn't seem like he was joking at all, and said that this was really a bit of a big game, how could people say that he was also the prince of Daqin, if he didn't accept his little temper, then it was really possible that one day someone would be unhappy and cut himself off.
The bullies in the county were angry before, and in order not to be beaten, they had to obediently get under the crotch of other people's pants, not to mention that now they are facing a person who will be the emperor in the future.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, believe that you go to Shouchun, you have already handed over Shouchun to Chen Ying according to Gongzi's instructions, and when you are leaving, you will help Chen Ying kill the leader of the anti-Qin forces on his side......"
It's like a human saying! Tell Lao Tzu about the conditions, you guys are really a little too tender.
Although he knew that this was Han Xin's little temper, Yinggao really didn't want to get used to him, although he would have a lot of dependence on him in the future in the use of soldiers, but he was used to such things as the temper of his subordinates, Yinggao didn't want to start this.
"Good! After this battle, you will be rewarded, but this time I am afraid that you will have to work hard......"
Immediately afterwards, Yinggao continued to assign a task to Han Xin, after listening to Yinggao's order, Han Xin's expression suddenly became very excited, he knew that under Yinggao's hands, he really did not lack opportunities to make contributions, although these opportunities are varied, but obviously if he can grasp each one well, then the final surprise from Yinggao is estimated to be indispensable!
