Chapter 79: Night Attack (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The Chu army had strict orders, and the speed of the rapid march far exceeded that of any army in the world, but this time Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, did not order an accelerated advance.
Because what will happen next will be a vicious battle, and there will be no excuse for solving the problem. At this time, the Chu army must rest well and conserve physical strength.
The Hun cavalry is different from the Central Plains army, even if the number of Chu troops is sharply reduced, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, will definitely not incorporate their army, at least not for now.
Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, knows himself very well, his foundation is in the Central Plains, at least before the Central Plains is unified, there will definitely be no foreign generals under his hands.
As the son of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and a disciple of Fan Zeng of the late Chu army, Xiang Tian is clear about the psychology of the Central Plains people and foreigners.
The superiority in his bones can be said to be deep in the soul, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu who came from later generations, never thought that all nationalities were equal.
In his opinion, the people of the Central Plains are the best and most noble existence in the world, and they should be born high.
Especially at this time, the Central Plains people looked down on foreigners, and at the same time, the Central Plains people were an extremely xenophobic nation, and once there were aliens in the army, it would definitely affect the reputation of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu.
Moreover, none of the soldiers were born angry, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, was undoubtedly the most serious of them.
His personality is somewhat tyrannical, and he belongs to the kind of person who only wants glory and wealth before his death, and he cares about the flood after death.
Therefore, for the next war, he only longs for the next war, and he can't do it anymore to slaughter the people of the Central Plains, or he can't bear it.
But in the face of the Hun cavalry in Heyin, he did not have any pity in his heart. For this kind of useless, but harmful army, he will definitely not have a trace of softness.
……
"Prince, the front is Heyin County, I wonder if our army will immediately send troops to attack at night?"
Chu Prince Xiang Tian raised his head and glanced at the dark night sky, turned his head to Xiang Sheng, and said.
"What day is it?"
Since there was no one to fight, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, did not stop marching all the way, and for a while, he didn't know the time at this moment.
……
Hearing this, Xiang Sheng glanced at the night sky, calculated in his heart, and said, "Prince Yu, due to the extremely fast speed of our army's march, I didn't stay along the way. ”
"At this moment, it is the fourth watch, and it is still far from the fifth watch!"
……
Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, had a gleam in his eyes, took a deep look at Heyin County, which was close at hand, shook his head, and said, "Send scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Hun cavalry in Heyin County." ”
"No."
"At the same time, the army should rest in place and not make fireworks, and must not make loud noises, and after the fifth watch, immediately send the vanguard to attack the city with cloud ladders."
"No."
……
This time to the north, the Chu army went in a hurry, and they didn't carry siege equipment at all, even if it was these ladders, they were all urgently made in the Twelve Cities.
Because Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, knew that if he wanted to attack at night, he had to climb over the city wall, otherwise the closed gate of Heyin County would not be broken by cavalry at all.
"Prince, I'm afraid it's hard to break through Heyin City with the cloud ladder alone......"
A trace of worry flashed in Li Zuoche's eyes, and he knew in his heart that the ladder was just the simplest of the siege equipment, and it might not be effective here.
Because as long as they are alerted by the Hun cavalry, they will inevitably kill the Chu soldiers who are crossing the city, and with the number of ladders carried by the Chu army, I am afraid that how many will not be enough to fill.
Xiang Tian glanced at Li Zuoche, he understood the worries in the hearts of Li Zuoche and the others, cavalry did not have much effect on siege warfare at all.
And all the Chu army is cavalry!
……
The thought flickered in his heart, and the corner of Chu Prince Xiang Tian's mouth swept over a touch of coldness, and he said towards Li Zuoche.
"Our army is more than 70,000, and there are only 20,000 Hun cavalry in Heyin City, even if they are alone and upright, they can win the battle."
"The reason why Lone chose to attack at night is because once our army has casualties, there is no source of troops to replenish, and it is even more to kill the enemy by surprise."
……
"I see, the prince is far-reaching, and the end will not be enough!"
In the face of Li Zuoche's compliment, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, smiled and did not speak, he knew in his heart that the reason why Li Zuoche was worried was just that he didn't expect it for a while.
……
"Prince, it's time for the fifth watch."
The fifth watch day is the most relaxing time of the day, and Xiang Tian calculated the time extremely accurately just in case.
Because on the battlefield, any trace has the potential to turn the war around.
With a wave of his left hand, Xiang Tian said: "Baili Tusu, you will lead the vanguard to climb over the city wall, clear the city wall guards, open the city gate, and welcome our army into the city." ”
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Baili Tu Su waved his hand and led the soldiers, carrying the cloud ladder to Heyin County.
……
His eyes followed Baili Tu Su, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, was silent for a while, and said, "Li Zuoche, immediately rectify the army and advance forward in a quarter of an hour." ”
"No."
The orders of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, have great continuity, and he is extremely accurate about the timing of the war, and every time he makes a move, it is just right.
A quarter of an hour, enough for Baili Tusu to climb over the city wall of Heyin and open the city gate, at this time, the main force of the army arrived, which can be said to be the right time.
"Pass the order, and the army will immediately advance towards Heyin, without making a sound."
"No."
……
Li Zuoche and the others are all good soldiers, and he naturally understands the words of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu.
When the army advances and tens of thousands of people advance, there will inevitably be a sound, and the order of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, not to make a sound, comes from the fact that the army must not advance at a rapid pace.
As long as it is not a large army sweeping, and it is not tens of thousands of cavalry galloping, the sound of horses' hooves cannot wake up the Hun cavalry in the city at all.
……
"Poof!"
The short sword slashed through the neck of the Hun soldier, directly cutting the throat, and the blood flowed for a while. Baili Tu Su solved one person with one sword, his face did not change in the slightest, and he quickly moved to the next one.
He knew in his heart that while the Hun soldiers were asleep, it was best to kill them all.
Otherwise, waking up the Hun soldiers will definitely cause the Hun cavalry to move, and then this night attack will turn into an open attack.
"Poof......
Baili Tu Su was vigorous, and after a while, he killed thirteen people in a row, and he cooperated with the Chu soldiers who climbed the city wall to kill all the Hun defenders.
……
"You three, immediately go and open the city gate to welcome the prince into the city, and Ben will lead people to solve the trouble."
"No."
Nodding in agreement, everyone left, and Baili Tu Su commanded the soldiers under his command, like apes and monkeys, to quickly kill the defenders at the city gate.
He knew in his heart that only by killing the other party, or dragging the other party, the other three soldiers could open the city gate and let Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, enter the city.
As long as all the Chu troops enter the city, everything will be a foregone conclusion at that time.
