Chapter 62: Fiction and Reality
Wang Lang's plan is actually no problem, 100,000 troops attack the Xie Gong troops in the south, and send another 80,000 soldiers to guard against Su Yun's support, as long as Xie Gong is quickly defeated, he can return to Handan, and when the encirclement is solved, he can retreat or defend.

It's a pity that the ideal is plump, but the reality is too skinny.
First of all, Xie Bow is not a soft persimmon, the troops he brought are all the elite of the Green Forest Army, these veterans have experienced a hundred battles, and they are not comparable to Wang Langjun's army at all, and Su Yun has already notified Xie Bow in advance, so that he can prepare early.
In addition, he sent 80,000 blocking troops, the task of these people is only to drag Su Yun's support, according to common sense, even if Su Yun's 200,000 troops come out, it will take a lot of effort to deal with them, but unfortunately what Wang Lang didn't expect was that Su Yun didn't plan to go south to support at all.
His target was only Handan City.
At this time, there were still 20,000 defenders left in Handan City, and it could not be said that Wang Lang was underestimating the enemy.
Su Yun didn't plan to attack either.
Not long after Wang Lang's troops set off from the south gate, Su Yun's army came to the north gate.
He did not send troops to attack, but everyone stood outside the range of bows and arrows, and made fires and meals on the spot, as if no one was around.
Wang Langjun at the head of the city couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do, but seeing hundreds of thousands of people in front of him, the pressure was unbearable, and the soldiers didn't even dare to blink their eyes, for fear that the other party would rush over in the next second.
Anyway, Su Yun was not in a hurry, and after eating, he simply ordered the soldiers to practice on the spot.
It was already spring, the sun was warm, the sky was blue, and the soldiers outside the city were full of energy and heat, while the city was silent and full of cold.
Originally, they had made up their minds and were ready to fight to the death, but now the situation is like a butcher's knife raised high in mid-air, and you don't know when he fell, so you can only keep your emotions tense.
Su Yun's methods were not limited to this, in the evening, a continuous bonfire was lit outside Handan City, and some talented soldiers began to perform in the commotion, or sing or dance, so it was not lively.
Where is this war, it is a bit like the military training that Su Yun participated in when he was studying.
After a day of mental torture, the defenders at the head of the city finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that there would be no war today.
Su Yun is not a heart-to-heart art troupe, he came to Handan to hold a literary and artistic performance, the show can't be watched in vain, just when the defenders were just about to take turns to rest, the soldiers outside who were still singing and dancing just now pulled out their weapons from under their buttocks and rushed straight towards the north gate.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Some of the soldiers who had just changed their armor had to put on their armor again and return to the city, and in the middle of the night there were shouts of killing, and bows and arrows were shot down like rain, but the soldiers who came to attack were very well prepared, and soon rushed to the city under the cover of the shield soldiers, and the catapults and wells behind were also powerful, and the bows and arrows and boulders bombarded the city, and the battle seemed to be intensifying.
Wang Lang in the palace was also alarmed, he rushed to the city gate with his own soldiers, and was also startled when he saw the scene in front of him, just as he hesitated to send someone to recall Zhang Shen's southbound troops, Su Yun's army took the initiative to retreat.
What does this mean exactly? The defenders were a little confused.
Su Yun's troops retreated in an orderly manner, and soon retreated back to their original positions, the bonfires had not been extinguished, and the soldiers continued to sit on the ground, as if what had just happened had not happened at all.
Wang Lang had already prepared a stomach full of words to boost morale, but now he had to hold back, and after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see any movement on the other side, so he had to go back to the palace in a huff.
The emperor could rest, but the soldiers suffered, and everyone had to stay on guard on the city walls.
Time passed slowly, and the soldiers stayed up until the early hours of the morning, and the generals saw that the opposite side had not moved, and finally let the soldiers take turns to rest.
But Su Yun made it clear that he was making them feel bad, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly rose, and a large number of troops rushed to the city gate with shouts, but everyone was called up again, and not long after the fight, the other party retreated.
This night like this raid back and forth seven or eight times, Wang Lang came to see the first few times, but then he simply didn't bother to pay attention to it, and when the sky was bright, the dark circles under the eyes of the soldiers on the city wall were terrifyingly heavy.
In fact, staying up for a few days and nights is not a problem for ordinary people at all, but it is completely different on the battlefield, the high concentration of spirit has increased the consumption of physical strength several times, and now the soldiers are fighting one by one, scolding Su Yun's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Su Yun didn't care, it was difficult for the 200,000 troops under his command to spread out even if they really attacked, so this night's attack seemed to be violent, but in fact, the number was only 50,000, and the soldiers took turns to fight, and those who had no task rested in the rear, and now they were all full of energy.
So the situation of yesterday was repeated during the day, and the defenders also saw that this was to wear down their fighting spirit, but they knew that they had to defend themselves, they only had 20,000 people, and it was just enough to face 200,000 troops, and there was no hope of resting.
"Otherwise, we will transfer the 80,000 troops that are going to stop Liu Xiu back to the city to strengthen the defense?" Wang Lang didn't sleep well all night, and the whole person looked very sluggish.
Li Yu didn't sleep well, but he didn't agree, "This Liu Xiu is scheming, this move is likely to be a plan in the plan, forcing us to withdraw the army so that we can go south to support Xie Bow, the battle report has just come from the south, Zhang Shen has begun to attack, we just need to hold on for a few days." ”
"Alright, then order the city defense army to be vigilant."
Wang Lang rubbed his temples helplessly.
But they really thought too much, Su Yun didn't plan to go south at all, he only sent two scout teams to keep an eye on the movements of the 80,000 troops.
The long day passed, the night came again, the defenders now did not even have the strength to scold, today the enemy outside the city has significantly shortened the frequency of harassment, now almost every half an hour to attack and kill, now the other party has just withdrawn, the accustomed soldiers are leaning on the city wall, like chickens pecking rice.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The post shouted.
"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I just squinted my eyes, didn't those people just retreat!" The soldiers complained dissatisfiedly.
"Get up! Get it all up for me! ”
The general roared as he ran, whipping his long whip at the lazy soldiers.
Everyone cursed and got up to take a look, and the black head really surged up again.
"If you can cope with it, no matter how much you toss, who can stand it!"
They were already very experienced, and they had the strength to catch the arrows, and they didn't bother to aim, so they shot out at will.
If you look at it from the sky, this attack is very different from the previous one, not only tens of thousands of people in front are attacking, but the army in the rear is also extending to the two wings, and a large number of siege equipment is also slowly pushing towards the city gate.
"Kill!"
Under the attack of Sparse Lala, Su Yunjun soon came to the city wall, they did not hold their shields and shout as usual, but directly set up a ladder and began to storm the city gate.
"It's a real offense! It's really offensive! ”
The defenders finally found out that something was wrong, and hurriedly organized the defense, and for a while they were in a hurry, although they had hoped that the other party would stop playing tricks countless times that day, but now that they had really attacked, their fear was even greater.
At this moment, a carriage appeared among the troops under the city, and approached the city gate under the heavy cover of the shield soldiers.
"I've been busy for two days, and I guess the time should come, so it's up to you."
Su Yun sat in the carriage and looked at Xiao Tiandao opposite with a smile.
"I know, but there are so many people above, I don't know the bottom of my heart, and I don't think it will last long." Xiao Tiandao lifted the curtain and took a look.
"Don't worry, it's effective, anyway, if it's useless, I'm going to attack, he's in a hurry, I'm more anxious than him." Su Yun patted her head.
"Hmph, uncle, you can't underestimate me." Xiao Tiandao glanced at him, then closed his eyes, and an invisible force rushed up the city wall.
"It's over, so many people! I can't beat it! ”
"I'm so tired, I want to sleep!"
"I regret why I didn't run away with a few brothers from the same village before."
……
All kinds of emotions instantly surged into the hearts of the defenders, some of them fled with their heads in their hands, some of them just lay down and fell asleep, and some began to take off their armor and throw weapons to tie their hands, and the city wall was simply chaotic.
At this time, the ladder had been erected, and Su Yun's soldiers rushed to the city wall, and they were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them, they had fought so many battles, and they had never seen such a cowardly opponent!
"What a daze! Kill them all! Quick! Storm the Palace! Wu Han also climbed the city wall, and without saying a word, he cut down the few fleeing defenders in front of him.
Only then did everyone react, Bai Na's military exploits should not be in vain, the defenders on the city wall were quickly wiped out, the north gate was also opened, and the army rushed into Handan City.
