Chapter 399: The Verge
Tie Dan hurriedly climbed to the top of the city with a dozen personal soldiers.
In the past, a pro-soldier under the account of Gao Chu is now a general, but he is just a baggage general.
Seeing Tie Dan striding forward surrounded by his own soldiers, the sentry team in charge of the night vigil was about to come forward to salute, but was stopped by Tie Dan waving his hand, Tie Dan took a few steps forward, and looked out with his hand on the battlement, only to see that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and Qianmo was faintly visible, and a few small dirt bags were like giant beasts crouching in the field, hideous and terrifying.
Outside the city was quiet, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
A sentry commander stepped forward and said, "General, go back and rest, it's time to be in the capital, and there will be no trouble." ”
"No, don't be careless!" Tie Dan shook his head with a serious expression, and his seriousness quickly infected the dozens of sentries in the city, and these sentries also became serious one by one.
As a heavy general, Tie Dan knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders!
Fuli County is the base for the army to hoard grain, and there are 500,000 stone military rations hoarded in the city, once these military rations are burned or taken away by the Huainan army, the consequences will be unimaginable.
However, to Tiedan's satisfaction, the vigil guards were very vigilant.
Tie Dan nodded, and was about to turn around to leave, when a strange sound suddenly came from outside the city.
Almost instinctively, Tie Dan suddenly turned sideways, and a little cold star had already flown past his breastplate, and then the cold star was nailed to the pillar of the enemy tower behind him, and when the dozen or so personal soldiers behind Tie Dan and the sentry at the head of the city looked at it urgently, it was a wolf's tooth heavy arrow, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling violently!
Tie Dan didn't look back at all, but roared for the first time: "The enemy attacked, blowing the trumpet and gathering troops......"
Before Tie Dan's words fell, the swishing low whistle had sounded continuously from outside the city, and several sentries could not dodge, and the arrows fell in a pool of blood in an instant, but due to Tie Dan's timely reminder, the two sentry guards responsible for blowing the trumpet hurriedly hid in the enemy tower. Raise the horn and blow it vigorously. In an instant, the long sound of the trumpet broke through the silence of the night.

"The sneak attack failed?" Cao Ji put down the iron-tired bow in his hand, his expression was cold, "The vigilance of the Chu army is really high!" ”
"Big brother, these Chu Guoyans are really hard to deal with!" The clan brother Cao Wuyi said hatefully, "It's the middle of the night, and there is no one who is lazy!" The sneak attack has failed, and it can only be stormed. ”
Cao Qian nodded and said in a deep voice: "Order." Raise your torches and get ready to storm! ”
Although the sneak attack failed, Cao Ji didn't care too much, long before the expedition, the fine work of the Qi State had already explored everything clearly, Fu Licheng was the Chu army's grain hoarding base, and the city not only hoarded a large amount of military food, but also hoarded countless ordnance baggage. The defenders numbered only 3,000.
Just 3,000 people. It is simply impossible to hold back his army of 30,000!
You must know that this time it was not a pawn who came to Fuli with him Cao Yao, but the most elite forbidden army of Qi State!
In order to surprise attack Fuli, the king did enough work, first let the prince lead an army of 100,000 to attract the attention of the army of Chu from the front, and then secretly levied 30,000 forbidden troops plus 50,000 Jiaodong and Langxie to copy the East China Sea road and go deep into Huainan, until Yancheng, the king divided his troops to the west. And he, Cao Yao, led 30,000 forbidden troops to take Fu Li directly!
The Qi army is so well prepared, isn't it just a Fu Li City to be captured?
With an order, Fu left the city and lit up with dotted torches, and by the light of the torches, he saw that the Qianmo outside the city was already crowded with the black and oppressive Qi army.
##########
At the head of Fu Licheng, there was a slight commotion among the sentry guards of the Chu army.
Tie Dan's heart also sank suddenly, looking at this momentum. The Qi army outside the city has twenty or thirty thousand people, and these Qi troops are basically elite soldiers in armor, although they have not yet begun to attack the city, but the powerful momentum is coming, this is obviously not an ordinary pawn, but should be the most elite Qi forbidden army! …,
Thankfully, Chu Jun's response was timely.
Tie Dan looked back, only to see that a group of soldiers had already driven up the city along the steps, a large number of rolling wood and stones and fierce fire oil were also being transported along the horse road to the city, and when he looked back at the outside of the city, Tie Dan's eyes had already revealed a strong fighting spirit, come on, what about the forbidden army of Qi State? With my Tie Dan here, Fu Li City will never be breached!
##########
Fu left the city, and the Qi army had already set up a lookout car.
Wangche, also known as the nest car, was a vital weapon in the ancient cold weapon war.
In any field battle, the lookout car is bound to be the command center of the whole army, and a lookout car is mainly composed of four parts, a base, two columns, and a winch lifting mechanism outside the car body.
Cao Ji shook the big gun and stepped into the carriage, and the four bare-chested wrestlers began to turn the winch hard, and the whole carriage slowly rose up along the towering columns on both sides, and before the carriage rose to the highest point, Cao Ji raised his right hand and pressed it gently, and in an instant, the fierce war drums sounded in the Qi army array.
In the sound of the blood-boiling war drums, a team of Qi army heavy armor carried a large shield, and slowly approached the city wall of Fu with neat steps, followed by a team of Qi army archers, and finally a team of light soldiers and dead soldiers, as well as a series of wells, ladders and crashing vehicles.

When the Great War of Fuli was about to break out, the 100,000-strong army of Han Qi, the crown prince of Qi, was rushing towards Pengcheng.
The scout rangers scattered out kept reporting, and there was no trace of the Chu army around, perhaps because of the distance, and not even the scout rangers of the Chu army had not encountered a group nearby.
When the scout returned that there were only ten miles left in Pengcheng, Han Qi suddenly raised his right hand.
In an instant, more than a dozen cavalry heralds galloped in all directions: "The prince has an order, the whole army stops advancing, the prince has an order, the whole army rests on the spot, seize the time to eat, and recuperate ...... physical strength."
Han Yan hurriedly found Zhao Yan and asked, "Military Master, where is my father?" ”
Zhao Yan looked around and found that in addition to their army, the four fields were pitch black and there was no fire at all, and he said with some confusion at the moment: "The secret envoy sent by the king said that he would meet us ten miles north of Pengcheng City, but the secret envoy did not say what the specific time was, maybe it will be the time of Yin, right?" ”
Han Qian frowned, and didn't say anything more, but he was so depressed in his heart that he was going to die, you must know that he was the prince of Qi State, and his father secretly went on an expedition for such a big event, and his father actually didn't look for him, the prince, but first found a military advisor, what does this mean? This shows that in his father's heart, the military advisor is far more important than him, the crown prince.
Just after the end of the hour, there were indeed sporadic fires in the eastern sky.
With the passage of time, the sporadic firelight gradually approached the army of Han Qi, through the faint light of the fire, it was faintly clear that it seemed to be a large army, and the soldiers of the Qi army who did not know what was going on thought that it was the Chu army that had been killed, and suddenly there was a commotion, and the soldiers who were resting in place got up one after another, put on armor and were ready to fight.
However, Han Yan and Zhao Yan knew that it was Han Xin's army that had arrived.
At that moment, Han Que ordered hundreds of elite horses to meet him, and when the two armies met, he really saw his father lying on his shoulder, and by his father's side, there were more than a dozen imperial doctors, although the male imperial doctor was very old, he was also among them, Han Que didn't dare to slack off and quickly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and bowed his hand and said: "The son sees the father." ”
Zhao Yan, who was behind Han Xin, also turned over and dismounted, bowing to Han Xin.
"Get up." Han Xin waved his hand at Han Yan, and said to Zhao Yan again, "Zijin, you did a good job." ”
Zhao Yan bowed his hand again, and said with sincere fear: "The minister just did what he could. ”
Han Xin waved his hand and said, "The widow knows in his heart that if you hadn't tried your best to stop it, the prince would have already come to Pengcheng with a large army and fight a decisive battle with the Chu army. Saying this, Han Xin said again, "Therefore, if the Qi army can win this battle of Huainan, Zijin, you should be the first to take the lead." ”…,
Zhao Yan only responded with a smile, but his heart was extremely bitter, the king's military attainments were not said, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an unmatched soldier in the ages, but his political attainments are really flattering, you have to thank me Zhao Yan for his merits at all in front of the prince, isn't this intended to embarrass the prince?
Anyway, Han Yan is the prince of Qi State, and the king's current body, maybe when he will collapse, when Han He succeeds to the throne, can he Zhao Yan stay in Qi State? Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but look sideways at Han Yan, and sure enough, he saw a trace of resentment from the depths of Han Yan's eyes.
Han Xin was unaware of this, and immediately instructed Han Xin: "Heyer, the army can be pulled out." ”
"Whoa!" Han Yan complied, then didn't look at Zhao Yan, turned over and walked away, Zhao Yan could only smile bitterly, from this moment on, his future in South Korea was bleak......

"Prime Minister, what's going on in the middle of the night?"
Yingbu stared at Kui Che with an unkind expression, and his tone was even more unkind, anyone who was woken up from his sleep would not feel good, not to mention that Yingbu had not slept for half a month, and he really couldn't stay up today, he wanted to sleep beautifully, but he didn't want to be woken up from his sleep.
Kuaiche didn't care, just stepped forward and whispered a few words in Yingbu's ear.
"Prime Minister, is this true?!" Yingbu's face suddenly changed drastically, and he sat up on his knees.
Kuaiche straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "King, over the years, when have the ministers deceived you?" ”
Yingbu's eyes couldn't help but pass a trace of guilt, over the years, Kuaiche has worked hard for him Yingbu and Huainan Kingdom, and he has done his best, but he really hasn't had any dissent? At the moment, he patted Kui Che on the shoulder, and said abruptly: "Prime Minister, I have been slow to treat you all these years, and I will make amends to you." ”
Kui Che looked sorry and said, "King, with your words, it is worth the minister's death. ”
Yingbu nodded, and Huo Ran turned around and shouted: "Liji, pass on the edict of the widows, beat the drum and gather troops, and the whole army will go out of the city to fight to the death with the Chu army......"
