Chapter 385: Divert the tiger from the mountain and take the outer yellow
Xiang Yu was in ambush in Chen County twenty miles at this time, Han Xin didn't know this, Xiang Yu heard that Ji Bu was surrounded, his heart was shocked, and he immediately sent troops to support, after all, Ji Bu's strategic mistake was caused by the main general.
And Fan Zeng in Waihuang City, when he learned that Ji Bu was besieged, wanted to inform Xiang Yu not to rescue, but before the scouts arrived, Xiang Yu had already sent troops.
Fan Zeng was just pacing back and forth in the mansion, "This must be Han Xin's trick!" If the king doesn't go to the rescue, Wai Huang and Ji Bu will be fine, if the king goes to the rescue, Wai Huang is in danger! ”
It turned out that Han Xin also learned that Waihuangcheng sent troops twice in a row, and Ji Bu led the army to come, presumably there were not many troops in the city, but Han Xin didn't know one thing, that is, Xiang Yu was still in the city, so he couldn't attack the city at all, after all, Xiang Yu had the courage of ten thousand people.
It is necessary to design to deceive Xiang Yu out of the city, and then bypass Xiang Yu's soldiers from behind, and attack the city directly.
Moreover, Han Xin had already sent someone to inform Fan Xu and the others, don't want to fight, as long as Wai Huang has to occupy it, withdraw the troops immediately, and Ju Shui'an is just to contain the Chu army and suddenly support.
Gossip is not enough, and look outside Chen County, Ji Bu is in the Han army, and as soon as he rushes out, he is suppressed back, and he can't rush out at all, and the Chu army is constantly being killed.
Han Xin stood outside the car formation, and suddenly a small soldier came to report, saying that Xiang Yu had brought troops to support, Han Xin heard this, and his heart was overjoyed, if there was no opponent in Huangcheng.
Immediately sent someone to inform Wang Ling in the south of Chen County, let him lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the generals went to Waihuang to capture the city, at this moment Chen County Han soldiers only 10,000, but there are chariots, a cart as ten horses, so Chen County can still have 10,000 horses left, completely used to attack the city.
After a while, Xiang Yu really arrived, Han Xin immediately turned the chariot around the horse's head and fired arrows at the Chu army led by Xiang Yu, and the Chu army immediately waved its flag and stopped.
When the arrows stopped, they rushed forward, and all the Han troops immediately lined up, and the spears on the chariots pierced out of the gap at this time, with the purpose of intercepting the Chu army and meeting with the Ji Bu army.
Xiang Yu was born brave, and he rode a black horse for a while, and he crushed the chariots in the front row, but Han Xin did not panic, and immediately commanded the chariots in the rear to make up for it, and more than a thousand chariots were not made for fun.
The two battlefields were anxious not to mention, and said that Wang Ling brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, bypassed Xiang Yu, and went straight to Waihuang to kill, at this moment there were only more than 1,000 people in Waihuang City, and Fan Zeng was also among them.
And Fan Zeng had long expected that as long as Xiang Yu went to support, Han Xin was in the arms, how could the Han army not come to attack the city with such a good opportunity, but Fan Zeng did not have the opportunity to explain to Xiang Yu, so there was no defense in the city.
In the house, Xiang Zhuang and the others were all there, and Fan Zeng was pacing back and forth in the living room, "How many soldiers and horses can be used in the city now?" "I was very worried between the words.
Zhou Lan immediately stepped forward and replied, "Enlightened Father, there are less than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the city, what should I do?" ”
"Sort out the Chu army, stick to the city, if you can't defend it, withdraw the army to the Lingbi!" Fan Zeng said with a slight sigh, I didn't expect that since the last battle, the Chu army has not yet won, and it has lost several cities in a row, which is really a pity.
Zhou Lan and the others couldn't say anything, before the army was organized, the Han army had already rushed over, Wang Ling ordered people to set up the ladder on the one hand, and ordered people to hit the door directly.
Xiang Zhuang stood on the city, only a hundred archers defended it, and the Han army under the city was like ants, without the slightest fear, and in a few moments, the south gate was breached.
Fan Zeng and others immediately withdrew their troops from Lingbi, and Fan Hao and others fought for two hours on the Jushui bank before they received Han Xin's withdrawal order.
Immediately led more than 20,000 people to Waihuang, and happened to meet Fan Zeng and others from the upstream, only to find out that Waihuang City had been lost, Zhong Liwu and Long followed Fan Zeng back to the city, and Zhou Lan led his troops to support Xiang Yu.
After Wang Ling occupied Waihuang, he immediately guarded the four gates and sorted out the military supplies, Fan Zeng was cunning, knowing that the Outer Yellow City would inevitably be lost, and actually set fire to the city, but fortunately, the Han army was fast, so that the Outer Yellow could be preserved, so that it would not become a ruined city.
The two battlefields have stopped, only Xiang Yu is still fighting with the Han army, at this time the spies sent by Wang Ling reported that Waihuang had been captured, and Han Xin withdrew his troops.
Ji Bu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the Han army retreating, and immediately rushed out of the encirclement, joined with Xiang Yu's soldiers, lost five or six thousand men and horses, and then prepared to rush towards Waihuang.
At this moment, Han Xin had just climbed the tower of Chen County, and suddenly shouted to Xiang Yu below: "The overlord of Western Chu, Han Xin is not talented, he has already occupied Waihuang, and please lead the overlord to lead the troops to garrison Lingbi." ”
When Xiang Yu heard this, he was shocked, and immediately sorted out the army and rushed towards Waihuang, at this moment, Waihuang City was defended on all sides, and it was already covered with Han army flags.
Ji Bu was beside him, and sighed slightly, "The king is heroic, and the city will not be broken, so Han Xin will surround the last general, and he is not in a hurry to slaughter, the purpose is to attract the king to save him, and his heart is cunning." ”
"Ji Buyan is yes, Father Ya must have already waved his troops against the Spirit Wall, and we will go back to rest for a while, in order to plan for the future." Xiang Yu said sadly.
Since Xiang Yu started his army, he has not tasted defeat, Julu Pengcheng has fought twice, and his reputation is far and wide, but he never thought that he would lose two cities in Xingyang in a row, all of which were defeated by Han Xin, and his heart was difficult to calm down.
Xiang Yu led the troops to leave Waihuang, met Zhou Lan halfway, saw that the overlord had nothing to do, so he had to withdraw his troops and temporarily return to Lingbi to rest.
In the first battle of Waihuang, the Chu army lost more than 10,000, in the Han army, in the Jushui rescue battle, the loss was seven or eight thousand, and the siege of Chen County lost several thousand, anyway, the total total was less than 10,000, but it got the Outer Yellow City.
Han Xin personally went to Waihuang, which was the midpoint between Xingyang and Pengcheng, and after Han Xin arranged all the things of Waihuang, he would no longer attack Lingbi, because this front was too long, in case Pengcheng sent troops to cut off the two roads, the Han army would be in danger.
Liu Bang was overjoyed when he learned that Han Xin had occupied several cities in a row, and immediately held a banquet in Xingyang to entertain Han Xin, after all, the role of these battles was very great.
First of all, he can be opposite to Chu and save the dignity of Pengcheng's defeat, and secondly, that is, Han Xin can send troops to attack Dai County, Xingyang, this place, Liu Bang can hold for a while, this is also Han Xin's highest requirement for Liu Bang, don't let him hold on, just hold on for a longer time.
In Xingyang City, Liu Bang is in the first place, Lu Yan and Zhang Liang are left and right, and Xiao He at this time is staying in Xianyang to arrange food problems, after all, he is the head of the logistics department, and he can't always come to the front line.
Liu Bang first raised his glass, "Since the Battle of Pengcheng, our army has regained Waihuang, Chenxian and other places, which is the credit of the general, and I am the general, it is really like a tiger with wings!" ”
"Thank you for your love, this is the duty of the minister." Han Xin said quite modestly, it can be said that the monarch and the minister are in harmony.
