Chapter 355: Liyang Breaks the Han King and Fumin
In Liyang City, Sima Xin transferred all the soldiers and horses from various counties, a total of 20,000 horses, including many residents of Liyang City, and the slightly stronger ones were directly pulled to fill the army.
The king of Han temporarily lived in the ruined hill, and Han Xin led the troops to garrison Xianyang, in order to attack Liyang, and the most feared thing about attacking the city was that the defenders would shrink into the city and refuse to fight.
At present, the land of Qi and Zhao is in a fierce battle with the overlord, so it is necessary to take this opportunity to take Liyang as soon as possible, and then break through South Korea, so that he can officially clash with Chu and divide the world into two.
Han Xin saw that Sima Xin had no signs of leaving the city, so he ordered Fan Hao to scold under the city, the general content was that Zhang Handu had been killed by the general, you are defending the city hard, who are you defending for, plus you are a second minister and thief, what loyalty can be expressed.
When Sima Xin heard that Fan Hao was scolding under the city, he was furious, and immediately summoned the deputy general Cao Jiao and ordered him to throw 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet the enemy, and Cao Zhi had to take the order.
Outside Liyang City, the two armies confronted each other, and Fan Xu saw that he was an unknown young general, and he didn't feel a little disdainful, "Liyang has no generals?" Sending a young general to come is really ridiculous and generous! ”
Cao Zhi was reluctant to fight, but when he saw that he was laughed at by Fan Xu, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately shouted: "Peixian dog slaughter, dare to do this, Dezhi barked in front of our army, rude to this point, why laugh at me!" ”
Fan Xue listened, frowned slightly, and immediately stepped forward, Cao Zhi was naturally not to be outdone, but also stepped forward and trembled, the two fought for twenty rounds, Cao Zhi was defeated, and returned to the camp.
The Han army gained momentum, immediately rushed forward, the king of the army was few and invincible, hurriedly responded to the battle, but a moment, the loss of a thousand people, the city tower immediately Ming Jin collected the troops, retreated to the city.
When Sima Xin saw the defeat in the first battle, he was depressed in his heart, and after Fan Xin's victory, he was even more energetic, scolding every day, and wanted to fight Sima Xin.
In the palace of the king of Sai, all the generals gathered, Sima Xin's face was embarrassed, "Fan Xupifu, self-assured bravery, shouting and scolding in front of the battle every day, insulting my reputation, you need to respond to the battle quickly, don't slack off!" ”
Seeing this, Cao Zhi immediately kowtowed and bowed and said: "The king must not, this is Fan Xu's plan to lure the enemy, the king should wait calmly, the overlord will win, and he will come to support, and the king of Zhai is still in Gaonu, when the two sides are attacked, the Han army will not attack itself, and it will return to Nanzheng, Shu, and will not come back to Shu." ”
Sima Xin was just silent after hearing this, and replied after a while: "What Vice General Cao said is reasonable, wait here, the high walls of Liyang City are thick, and I think the Han army will definitely not be able to break through." ”
Fan Hao scolded for many days, and saw that there was no longer any movement in Liyang City, so he immediately sent someone back to Han Xin, and in the camp, Han Xin sneered.
Immediately ordered Cao Shen to lead 10,000 horses to assist Fan Xu, be sure to go to Liyang, directly attack the city, and project sand and gravel or rockets every day, for three consecutive days.
Cao Shen got the order and told Fan Xu to let the soldiers make rockets and sand and gravel pipes in the rear, load them into dust, and throw them into the city, which was originally a peaceful Liyang City.
Attacked by rockets and gravel, but in a day's time, the city tower was on fire, smoke and dust filled the sky, arrows rained, Sima Xinfu sent more than 2,000 people to guard, even if there were casualties.
For three consecutive days, Sima Xin had no choice but to send people to demolish the city tower, leaving only the earthen walls high, and no longer ordered people to guard them, allowing the Han army to attack, but failed to hurt the soldiers in the city.
When Han Xin heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Fan Xu not to attack, just wait outside the city, and attack the city gate at night after five days, so that Liyang City could be broken.
Sima Xin in the city saw that Han Xin no longer attacked, thinking that the sand and gravel rockets were all used up, so he ordered the soldiers to repair the city tower, so the soldiers repaired the city every day, and there were people guarding it two days ago.
On the night of the fifth day, there was no movement in the city of Fan Xuguan Liyang, and he was overjoyed, so he ordered two thousand elite soldiers to set up a ladder at night, and quickly entered the city.
Sai Wangbing was frightened and hurriedly told Sima Xin, who was also panicked when he heard this, and immediately collected 10,000 soldiers and horses with his lieutenant, preparing to abandon the city from the west gate and flee.
Fan Xu led the Han army into the city, did not disturb the people, but approached the Saiwang Mansion, but at this moment the people had already gone to the palace, Fan Xu wanted to capture Sima Xin, and after arranging the soldiers, he led the troops to pursue the Saiwang.
After Sima Xin left the city, he still had a plan in his heart, that is, to take refuge in Gao Nu's old friend, Qin Dynasty colleague Zhai Wang Dong Peng, Han Xin had long expected this move, and the day before yesterday he ordered Wang Ling to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to ambush on the bank of the Yellow River, but also to prevent Dong Fei's support.
At the time of night, Wang Ling ordered people to extinguish all the torches and wait for the army of the king of Sai, and suddenly saw a fire coming from the southwest, and after a little thought in his heart, he guessed that it was Sima Xin's army.
Seeing this, Wang Ling immediately ordered the three armies not to act rashly, and to wait until the king of Sai passed by this section, intercept and kill from it, and be sure to capture Sima Xin.
On the bank of the Yellow River, Sima Xin did not dare to slack off, but slowly moved forward along the coast.
How could Sima Xin expect that the Han army would intercept and kill, and he was in a hurry to meet the battle, resulting in the loss of most of the Saiwang army, Sima Xin saw that the front was blocked, so he had to retreat and prepare to surrender to the king of Western Wei.
However, Fan Hao had already led his troops to kill at this time, Sima Xin had no way to go before and after, and the left and right were the high mountains and the Yellow River, and all his thoughts were discouraged in a moment, so he had to fight to the death with the Han army, and was captured on the bank of the river in the early morning.
And Han Xin has reorganized the army, to welcome the king of Han into Liyang, the people of Liyang are all eating pot pulp to welcome the Han army, it turns out that Sima Xin has been a long history, a little know the art of war, and there is no way to govern the people.
made the life of the people of Liyang hard, as if in the midst of fire and water, Xiao He immediately ordered people to sort out the food and distribute the people, as for Sima Xin, the ending was slightly tragic, and he was beheaded by Fan and hung at the south gate of Liyang.
The king of Han entered Liyang this time, and did not put on a feast, after all, Liyang's and the waste mound must be very different, so the king of Han followed Zhang Liang's strategy.
After entering the city, he summoned the elders in the city, and appointed the virtuous to take over the Liyang County Order, and made a very important speech.
The book said: "The overlord has no way, wants to follow in the footsteps of the second, Xin'an pit killed more than 200,000 Qin soldiers, it is already a great rebellion, and the child is killed again, Xianyang is burned, the righteous emperor is killed, Du Pengcheng, addicted to wine, there are Yu Ji beauties, do not want to forge ahead, it is really a disaster for the country and the people, regardless of the people in water and fire, thinking about their own pleasures. ”
"The elder of the Han king, the practice of benevolence and righteousness, and there is no tyrannical behavior, where the Han army goes, the people and goods are not moved, and the money and food are distributed, this time the army is not to seek the world, but to avenge the righteous emperor, kill the overlord and other unscrupulous people, and return the peace of the world."
Between his words, he didn't say anything about seizing the world, his banner was to avenge the righteous emperor, Liu Bei learned the essence of this, and he didn't say that he took the world, Liu Xuande of the Three Kingdoms was like this, just to help the Han family.
