Chapter 140: Huaiyin
Huaiyin.
Looking at the vast water town, Xiang Tianhu's eyes were like knives, and he knew in his heart that this was the place where the soldier immortal Han Xin was born.
And the reason why this place has left a huge reputation in history is entirely because of Han Xin, the king of Qi, a leading soldier in the war faction.
At this moment, when the soldiers came to the city, Xiang Tian was full of emotion, but he was a little unwilling, that is, this time it was not the soldier Han Xin who was fighting, but an unknown figure.
This made Xiang Tian feel a little happy in his heart, but at the same time, he was a little unwilling. After all, it has always been his dream to fight head-on with Han Xin, the king of Qi.
……
The soldiers approached the city, looking at the huge city, Xiang Tian's thoughts flew wildly for a while, and he knew in his heart that taking Huaiyin would mean that most of Donghai County would fall into the hands of the Chu army.
In this way, the connection between Jiangdong and Surabaya was opened, and in this way, the state of Chu completely had the confidence to survive in this troubled era.
The thought flickered in his heart, and a trace of light flashed in the eyes of Xiang Tianhu, the prince of Chu, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, there was an endless slaughter in the sky.
"Attack!"
His left hand fell, and Xiang Tian only said one word from beginning to end, knowing in his heart that the initial flooding strategy was simply not feasible.
Because he cares more about Donghai County than anyone else, because this will be the territory of the Chu State, and it will be the base camp of the Chu army to dominate the world.
"Kill!"
The spear was pointed horizontally, and Baili Tu Su led the army to raise his head to the sky and let out a long roar, rushing towards Huaiyin.
The light-clothed dead soldiers moved forward one after another, the ladders were set up one after another, and the light-clothed dead soldiers who were not afraid of death climbed towards the Huaiyin city wall.
"Roll the wood! Prepare for the stone! ”
Wu Xiao and Chu Xiong stood on the city wall, the two of them looked solemn, he knew in his heart that the Chu army did not say a word of greeting, and directly ordered the siege of the city.
This means that Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, wants to break through Huaiyin in one fell swoop and show his iron blood and domineering to the surging world.
……
Sometimes the show of force was also a way to increase the threat, which was inspired by the huge military parades of the Celestial Empire in later generations.
Because of this, Xiang Tianbing has not been bloody, but has made the world turbulent, making the whole situation more complicated.
In order to warn Huainan Wang Yingbu and others, Xiang Tian had to change his strategy, give up the strategy of flooding Huaiyin at this time, and suppress Huaiyin with strong iron blood.
Huge stones fell from the sky, smashing down one after another the dead soldiers of the Chu army, and the sound of pain and wailing became a swan song at the head of Huaiyin City.
Rolling logs, rocks kept falling, at this moment, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, but Chu Prince Xiang Tian did not order to retreat, and there was no retreat in their eyes.
Killing is their only mission, and merit is the chance to regain their freedom.
"Poof!"
After countless dead soldiers fell, countless people followed one after another, and finally the dead escaped the shooting of rocks and rolling logs, as well as archers, and climbed to the top of the city.
Zhang Wenhua had just climbed the city wall, and he killed a Han soldier with a big knife in his hand, and was beheaded by others as soon as he could.
"Those who climb the top of the Huaiyin wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"
The scene of Zhang Wenhua climbing the city wall naturally fell in Xiang Tian's eyes, and with a roll of his eyes, an exciting order blurted out.
"The prince has an order, and those who climb the top of the Huaiyin wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold."
Xiang Tian's personal guards immediately shouted, and for a while, the sound of the trumpet resounded in the sky, instilling huge strength into the lightly clothed dead soldiers who were working hard to persevere.
There is a way that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, not to mention this kind of cannon fodder-like dead soldiers, for them, except for freedom and money, everything else doesn't matter.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
I don't know who took the lead, and the three shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, bringing a fierce murderous aura to the sky, making the entire battlefield change color.
"Prince, the Han army is in decline, and the advantage of the city wall no longer exists under the frenzied killing of the lightly clothed dead soldiers, and it is only a matter of time before Huaiyin is broken."
Glancing at the division, Xiang Tian waved his left hand and said, "Order the front army to attack the city and strive to break through Huaiyin before dark." ”
"No."
With the order of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, the front army of the Chu army, which had already been unable to bear it, quickly moved forward, saying that the direction of the dead soldiers of the Chu army went up.
Looking at the former army climbing the city wall, Xiang Tian was also slightly relieved, he knew in his heart that the war in Huaiyin was already a foregone conclusion.
Even if the soldier immortal Han Xin is in person, I'm afraid it won't be able to change the ending.
"Poof!"
A sword slashed a dead soldier of the Chu army, and the county lieutenant Chu Xiong turned his head towards the county commander Wu Xiao and said, "My lord, retreat to the county government, the front army of the Chu army is attacking, and our army can't stop it." ”
"Kill!"
With a roar of the tiger, the county lieutenant Chu Xiong decided to die in the city to buy a period of time for Wu Xiao's retreat, and brandished his long sword to kill the swarming Chu army.
……
After a long time, the shouting and killing in Huaiyin County gradually subsided, except for the smell of blood in the sky and the corpses on the battlefield, as if telling how cruel the war was just now.
"Squeak!"
At this time, the Chu army had already controlled the city gate, and the closed city gate of Huaiyin County was opened to the Chu army for the first time, as if Donghai County recognized this new master.
The city head changes the king's flag, it can be said that in this troubled era, it is very normal for the city to change hands.
"Prince, the county lieutenant Chu Xiong died in battle, and the county ordered Wu Xiao to guard the county government and is fighting against our army!"
Glancing at Baili Tu Su, Xiang Tianhu rolled his eyes and said coldly: "Kill, don't leave a single one!" ”
Xiang Tian's order was extremely cold, since he had decided to kill, not persuade to surrender, it meant that he would definitely not be merciful.
In this troubled era, soft-hearted people do not always live, and there is even more mercy not to be in charge of soldiers, Xiang Tian has experienced the predicament and life and death crisis in this troubled era.
has already made him iron-blooded, even cold-blooded and ruthless, for anyone, as long as there is no entanglement with his own interests, he can be killed.
"Xiao Kai, pack up the surrender army, recruit 30,000 troops in Huaiyin, and make the number of troops 50,000."
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Xiao Kai turned around and left, looking at Xiao Kai in the distance, Xiang Tian frowned slightly, these old ministers who had followed him from the beginning.
With the talent is slightly insufficient, but loyalty is absolutely unquestionable, which is also the most reassuring point for Xiang Tian to use.
For something like this that has merit and doesn't require too much risk, Xiang Tian doesn't mind pushing it to Xiao Kai and the others.
"Prince, with 30,000 soldiers, I am afraid that it will not be able to form combat strength in a short period of time, and it will do all kinds of harm to the current situation!"
Shaking his head, Xiang Tian vetoed the advice of the Li Division, was silent for a while, and said: "Military Division, in the entire Chu State, only Donghai County can recruit troops. ”
"After this war, the entire Donghai County can only recruit a maximum of 50,000 soldiers, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the recovery of Donghai County."
