Chapter 198: The Great King's Banner Changing at the Head of the City
"No."
……
Nodding in agreement, Zhong Liwu and the other generals went down to prepare for the equipment needed to attack Qiancheng.
In the entire big tent, only the prince of Chu Xiang Tian and the military advisor Zhu Li were left, and for a while, the big tent seemed to be much quieter, and even a little depressed.
Because Master Lili really didn't know how to persuade Chu Prince Xiang Tian at this moment, he had a stomach in his heart, but he couldn't find an opportunity to speak.
He also knew that even if he said it, Prince Xiang Tian of Chu might not listen to it.
……
"Your Majesty, Qianzhong County is the gateway to Bashu, and its geographical location is extremely important, once our army kills Ren Ao and captures Qianzhong County, the King of Han will definitely not give up at that time."
……
At this time, the worry in the heart of the master increased instead of decreasing, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, was too crazy.
Master Lili is proficient in the art of war, so he naturally knows that Xiang Tian is doing this in a dangerous way, and it can even be said that he is gambling with the state of Chu.
In his opinion, such a move is simply a kind of immaturity, and Xiang Tian, as the crown prince of Chu State and the actual controller of Chu State, should not have such immaturity at all.
The thought flickered in his heart, and Master Zhu couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Once our country's momentum increases greatly, it will inevitably cause Qi, Liang, Han, Zhao, Yan, and Han to be wary. ”
"At that time, it may not be possible to form a coalition of princes, and I am afraid that the dispute between Chu and Han will be repeated."
……
These words were filled with the deep worry of the Zhu Li Division, which made Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, feel shocked in his heart, and his face changed slightly.
"The military advisor can rest assured, he knows this point, Qianzhong County must take it, and after this battle, he will order to shrink the defense line with his father."
"Digest the newly occupied area while conscripting, and there will definitely be no more wars in the near future!"
……
explained a sentence, just to reassure the military advisor, but the authenticity of this sentence, even the prince of Chu Xiang Tian did not know.
He knew in his heart that compared to Guanzhong and Qidi, Chudi's disadvantages were extremely obvious.
Water transportation is developed, rivers and lakes are dotted, mountains and rivers are dense forests, everywhere, and the Yangtze River is dangerous, which is naturally an advantage for a corner of safety.
But Xiang Tianzhi, the prince of Chu, is in the world, so the mountains, rivers and lakes will become a kind of shackle.
If you want to cross the Central Plains, you must have a strong cavalry, but Chu is too remote, which is not conducive to the general environment for the growth of cavalry.
This means that if the Chu army wants to compete for the Central Plains, it is far more difficult than imagined.
In particular, Liu Ji, the king of the Han Dynasty, is located in the northwest, close to the Xiongnu, not only has such natural dangers as Hangu Pass, but also provides a steady stream of war horses.
As time goes by, there will be a terrifying increase in the cavalry in the Han Kingdom, which will widen the gap between Chu and Han.
But the worries in his heart must not be declared, but he must make a look at the world and who is worthy of being an opponent.
After all, he is the crown prince of Chu State, if he is not confident in the future of Chu State, I am afraid that the people of Chu will be greatly disappointed at that time, and the civil and military officials will also be gloomy.
"Prince, it's the third watch!"
Hearing the reminder of the Li Division, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, moved his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Order the army to advance forward and advance to Qiancheng at the fifth watch." ”
"No."
Nodding in agreement, the division waved his hand to let the herald go down, and they all knew that the battle related to the belonging of Qianzhong County was about to begin.
……
"Prince Yu, the four gates of Qiancheng are closed, and there is no army patrolling, presumably Ren Ao will transfer all the troops, and Qiancheng at this moment is just an empty city."
Hearing this, Chu Prince Xiang Tian smiled confidently, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, hiding a trace of mockery, and said: "Ren Ao is really confident, it's a pity that his self-confidence, but it's cheap." ”
With a touch of fierceness in his eyes, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, said: "Zhongli, send lightly clothed dead soldiers to attack the city with cloud ladders." ”
"No."
……
With the order of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, the battalion of dead soldiers took the lead, they wore light clothes, carried iron swords, and headed towards Qiancheng with the momentum of seeing death as home.
Looking at the sky with only twinkling stars, and the huge black shadow in front of him, Chu Prince Xiang Tian did not have the slightest fear in his heart, but was full of excitement.
He knew in his heart that the pitch-black city meant that Qiancheng's defense was lax, and he only needed lightly clothed soldiers to quickly enter the city, and even the soldiers could take Qiancheng without blood.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, was full of expectations in his heart, after all, the soldiers would not go to Qiancheng bloodily, so that he would have the opportunity to force Ren Ao to surrender.
"Poof!"
The lightly clothed dead men who climbed the city walls acted extremely carefully, and in this moment they were able to deal with most of the old, weak, sick and disabled people defending the city.
"What people!"
This move naturally woke up the others, and the commander of the dead battalion waved his hand and said, "Zuo Qu, immediately lead your troops to open the city gate and welcome the army into the city." ”
"The rest, kill the enemy with me!"
"No."
……
This sentence naturally increased the momentum of the lightly clothed dead soldiers, after all, the Chu State implemented the twenty military merit title system, and only the enemy's head was the source of the military merit.
With their outstanding military exploits, they also have the opportunity to leave the camp of the dead and no longer have to gamble with their lives.
"Kill!"
……
In the face of the crazy lightly clothed dead soldiers, the unprepared Han soldiers were no opponents at all, and they were slaughtered in just one round.
At this time, the battle between the lightly clothed soldiers and the soldiers of the Han army naturally woke up the officials and people in Qiancheng, but it was already too late.
"Squeak."
The city gate was opened, and the lightly clothed dead soldiers guarded the city gate, lighting the way for the Chu army to enter the city with torches.
"Strategist, herald the army, enter the city!"
"No."
Nodding in agreement, the master turned his head and shouted, "The prince has an order, and the army enters the city." ”
……
In the process of entering the city, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, had a murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "Zhongli, lead the army to guard the four gates, put Ren Ao's family under house arrest, no one is allowed to move lightly without Lone's order, and at the same time, anyone who resists in the city, regardless of the reason, will be killed!" ”
"No."
Seeing Zhong Liwu leading the army forward, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, looked at the division and said, "Military division, go to the county guard mansion with Gu and meet the courtiers of the Han Kingdom." ”
"No."
……
This is a war, not a dispute between the rivers and lakes, and its sole purpose is to win, not to pay attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes, and the so-called disaster will not affect the family.
Prince Chu ordered Ren Ao's family to be placed under house arrest, and this order was very normal in the eyes of everyone, and there was no resistance as Xiang Tian imagined.
The thought flickered in his heart, and after a while, Xiang Tian understood the reason, there is a way that the winner is the prince and the loser, as the winner, he is qualified to receive everything from the loser.
Naturally, this included the city, the women, and the gold, silver, and jewelry.
