Chapter 476: Yin Soldiers Borrow the Way
Zhang Zifang plans to build a fire wall; Alien troops to the white flag as a flag!
Zhang Liang's words made the hearts of several people close to him tremble. And Wang Ben, who was closest to him, hurriedly looked in the direction of Zhang Liang's exclamation.
"My lord, some of the enemy troops are clearly starting to leave, and this is good for us. Why do you exclaim?! Do you think they have any tricks up their sleeve? ”
"Tricks?! It's a poisonous ploy!! The Chu army that left should have been specially arranged by Wei Ang, and its purpose was to make a detour back to the rear of our new city and cut off our way. If the Chu army in front of this is successful, then this roundabout force will be the "hungry ghost" who cuts off our escape route! But if the siege troops in front of us are blocked, then they will become a surprise attack on us. And the most terrible thing, if they choose to go after the departing women and children......"
Smelling Zhang Liang's analysis, everyone was frowning. Although his last words were not uttered, the sergeants could imagine the horrific scene. At this moment, they were already a little anxious, but fortunately, their morale and the spirit of the decisive battle were not affected. In fact, they also knew very well in their hearts that they could only try to attract enemy troops as much as possible, and this was the only thing they could do for the fleeing people.
Seeing that everyone was not afraid, Zhang Liang was very pleased. And just as he was pondering how to meet the enemy, the officer in charge of fetching the fire was back......
"O king, we have brought the things that cause fire. Please give us the order on how we should deal with the enemy army!! ”
"Okay! Since he Wei Ang wants our lives, then we simply play with him. When the enemy army is attacking with all its might, you will throw these fire-burning objects from the city! Remember, smash into the middle of the enemy, just a little bit. As soon as the items that ignited the fire are scattered, throw torches down the city! Tonight, we want to let the firelight illuminate this new city, and at the same time, let the Chu army see our fighting spirit clearly with the help of the firelight!! ”
Hearing that Zhang Liang had made arrangements, the sergeant and the people immediately agreed in unison. Everyone has a decision in their hearts at this time, that is, to defend their own home and dignity with their lives.
After two simple rounds of tentative attacks, the Chu army finally began to engage in large-scale siege battles. At this time, the Chu army outside the city gradually began to gather together, and they were already planning to strike a full blow.
Seeing that the Chu army finally made a big move, Zhang Liang immediately began to instruct the soldiers and the people to prepare for action. And just when most of the Chu army rushed to the city of Xincheng, they suddenly saw countless earthen pots thrown from the city wall.
At the beginning, the Chu army did not flinch because of this move, but felt that the actions of the soldiers and civilians in Xincheng were incomprehensible. But when they found out that the clay pot was filled with pine oil and other materials for igniting fires, they immediately felt chills, and at the same time, experienced veterans and generals were ready to stop the troops from charging, but unfortunately it was too late......
In an instant, the fire began to spread among the charging Chu troops. It is like a messenger of the soul, constantly demanding the lives of the soldiers of the Chu army; At the same time, it is like an insurmountable barrier, blocking the Chu army that is trying to attack the new city outside the wall of fire!!
When the soldiers and civilians of Xincheng saw the success of Zhang Liang's plan, they immediately shouted excitedly, as if they had won at this moment.
After the Chu army encountered the fire and the sky, it immediately began to retreat in full force. And coach Wei Ang already knew that he had fallen for Zhang Liang's trick at this time, and his anger and unwillingness instantly made him thunderous!!
"It's all rubbish!! My tens of thousands of troops will be repulsed by more than a thousand people!? The new city is not impregnable, why can't you break it in one fell swoop?! Pass my order, if there is any more retreat, there will be no mercy!! All the sergeants immediately restarted the offensive, and within an hour they must take the new city and capture Zhang Zifang alive! ”
After Wei Ang said that, he immediately drew his sword and pointed angrily in the direction of Xincheng. And the general beside him hurriedly stopped: "Boss, the enemy has dropped countless oil canisters from the city wall. Now a wall of fire has formed outside the new city, and if our army rushes to attack, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses! ”
"Humph! What's so much to fear from a mere wall of fire?! The commander ordered the front army to hold shields against enemy bows and arrows while attacking; The Chinese army was on hand and at the same time extinguished the fire; The rear army will provide support!! If there is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he will be killed immediately!! ”
After listening to Wei Ang's order, the soldiers of the Chu army were all furious. This style of play is not so much a strong attack, but rather a bloody way with human life. But even if they were unwilling, they dared not speak out in anger, and at the same time, they did not dare to disobey orders......
The temporary retreat of the Chu army allowed Zhang Liang and the soldiers and civilians to take a short breather. But before they could rest for a long time, they saw that the enemy army had resumed the attack, and did not lose any losses.
"King, is the Chu army crazy?! is not afraid of the wall of fire at all, is it possible that they can demon the law? Can it be invasive?! ”
Wang Ben was very puzzled by Chu Jun's actions, and even began to suspect that the other party had any divine power. And Zhang Liang was extremely angry at this time, because he had already seen the other party's intentions.
"Fire and water are invulnerable?! Let's go for it!! There is no one in this world who is not afraid of death, and in my opinion, it was Wei Ang who gave a death order and asked the Chu army to charge with all his might. It's also thanks to him that he came up with this idea of dispersing his conscience, and actually used human life to open a way of attack!! ”
As Zhang Liang explained, his teeth were already squeaking with anger. However, there was no time for him to sympathize with the Chu army at this time, because the soldiers and civilians in the city were already in danger.
"The order goes down, everyone must save bows and arrows and throwing objects. Wait until the enemy is close before you stop it! Make sure to destroy the enemy with every blow! Also, send twenty people to lead some people to observe the city gate behind the new city, and keep an eye on the enemy's movements at any time! ”
Zhang Liang ordered, and the sergeant hurriedly did as he was told. At this time, the soldiers of the Chu army had already rushed through the wall of fire with desperate fighting methods, and approached the city gate step by step......
The battle has entered a white heat, and both sides are already red-eyed. Although the time was late, the flames of war reflected the entire sky, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the entire Korean land.
Exhaustion and casualties continued to erode the soldiers and civilians in the new city, and Zhang Liang's side was gradually exhausted at this time. But just when Zhang Liang led everyone to support him, the sergeant who was in charge of probing the rear city gate suddenly came to him.
"King Qiqi! The city gate found the sergeant of the Chu army! The enemy force numbered in the thousands, the same number as the enemy had withdrawn earlier. ”
Hearing the sergeant's report, Zhang Liang instantly froze on the spot. Although he had thought of such a situation, when it did come, it was still difficult to accept.
The attack of the Chu army has gradually gained the upper hand at this time, and if the enemy carries out a front and rear attack at this moment, then the army and civilians in this city will be completely finished. Thinking of countless innocent people dying in vain, Zhang Liang only felt like a knife......
Seeing Zhang Liang's pale face, the sergeant in charge of the report immediately understood his concern. Before Zhang Liang could recover from the shock, he heard the sergeant continue: "King! The small ones are still unprepared. Although the enemy army was already under our city, it did not attack. Not only that, but we also found that there was smoke and flags looming behind the other party, as if... It looks like there's a trail of people coming here...... The soldiers and horses of the Chu army also seemed to have noticed that there were soldiers and horses coming behind them, so they always remained vigilant and did not dare to make a move. ”
"And the centaurs?! How is this possible? The Chu army has a total of 80,000 horses, and the number of sergeants in the front and back of the two gates is just in line with this, how can they come out of thin air? ! ”
For the sudden change, Zhang Liang was puzzled. But Wang Ben beside him was extremely excited at the moment, as if he had seen a savior.
"King! Do you think it could be that the sixth brother is coming with the reinforcements of King Qin?! If so, then we are saved! ”
After listening to Wang Ben's words, Zhang Liang did not show any excited expression. After thinking for a moment, I saw him shake his head and sigh, "Impossible! According to the direction, if it is really the reinforcement of King Qin, it will definitely appear in the rear of the Chu army in front of our army. The direction behind us is Handu, how can they make a detour to the rear? This is not scientific! ”
Wang Ben didn't understand what the word "science" meant, but he also agreed with Zhang's analysis. The face that was already full of hope was again gloomy at this time......
"King, do you think it will be the soldiers and horses of the King of Han who have rushed back? According to the direction, if they return to our aid, they must be coming from behind us, right?! ”
Regarding Wang Ben's second inquiry, Zhang Liang still responded with his head head. Because he had carefully calculated the time of the return of Liu Bang's army, he concluded that it would definitely not be a united army.
Seeing that Zhang Liang once again denied his guess, Wang Ben only felt confused. And just as everyone was silent, the sergeant who was in charge of reporting the military situation opened his mouth again.
"Big... My lord, there is a small matter that has not yet been reported. One of our brothers, who was in charge of observing the military situation, had excellent eyes, and he said he could see vaguely...... See ......"
Seeing that the sergeant wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Liang only felt anxious. At this time, he wanted to kick the half-spoken sergeant, but he finally endured it.
"You're here to entertain me?! Once the words are spoken! ”
"Yes! The brother said that the troops who came from afar were flying white flags, and there were no patterns or words on the flags to indicate the identity of the troops. The most important thing is that the flag is very much like a banner ......"
"Flag? Hit the white flags? What about funerals? Are you sure it's a soldier? ”
Hearing Zhang Liang's inquiry, the sergeant did not dare to give an affirmative answer for a while.
"That's not right. Whose funeral is it at night? I haven't heard of anyone who went to the funeral this night, and I haven't heard of anyone who waeds a white flag as a flag. What the hell are these people doing? ”
Without waiting for the sergeant to answer, Zhang Liang had already begun to talk to himself. At this time, he only felt that his head was as big as a fight. Because he really couldn't figure out where the people came from afar. And just as he was thinking hard, Wang Ben suddenly exclaimed.
"King! I often hear the old man talk about the so-called Yin soldier borrowing the way! Could this white banner be the banner of the soldiers and horses of the underworld? Judging from the smallest, maybe God agrees with your benevolence, and at the same time can't bear the misery of the people of Xincheng, so he sent Yin soldiers to help us! ”
"What? The Yin soldiers borrowed the road to help us?! ”
Faced with Wang Ben's third speculation, Zhang Liang only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh. At this time, he really wanted to kick the other party's ass twice, because he really couldn't understand the other party's thinking.
"Are you kid having a funny head?! The son is silent, and the power is confused! Not to mention whether there are ghosts and gods in the world, even if there are, they should be sent to send divine soldiers! How can you send Yin soldiers? Do you want them to collect the corpses?! Or does the other party know that there will be a lot of people who died in vain here, so they came to collect their souls?! If we live, I think you can go and write a chat! ”
After Zhang Liang said that, Wang Ben immediately lowered his head in embarrassment. And just when the two of them were silent again, they suddenly heard a wailing sound from the direction of the Chu army in front of them......
