Chapter 365: Attack
When you find your world trapped within a city, the immense sense of captivity that is deprived of your freedom can terrify you and make you frantically search for a way out, whether it is useful or not, like an underwater suffocating man who craves air. Because once you stop, you will be tormented and crazy by the sense of imprisonment in your heart!
But Bai Qi couldn't stand their crazy survival behavior, obviously they were just trapped in the city, and there was no danger to their lives, but these hundreds of thousands of people wanted to escape like they were enchanted, and they were endlessly crazy, as if they were trapped in this city not a group of people, but a group of demons and monsters.
Bai Qi couldn't stand their madness, so in a fit of rage, he slashed and killed the five soldiers in front of him, and it was not the previous rebels who killed them, but five loyal Praetorian Guards.
Hot blood splattered from the scythe blades and splashed on the faces of the other soldiers who were still frantic, killing chickens and monkeys, and the more than twenty people trapped in the city fell silent one after another.
Looking at the blood dripping all over the ground, the fear of death overshadowed all emotions in their hearts, forcing everyone to calm down.
As such, the atmosphere began to become calmer...... It is even said that there is some dead silence. Bai Qi gasped for a cloudy breath, wiped the warm blood stains on the sickle blade with his hand, and then breathed in the quiet air stained with blood The investigation of the granary and the canal in Lingcheng has been transmitted, it was Arthur himself who led the team, there is no problem, the granary and the canal are all right, and there has always been a heavy guard outside the granary, and there has never been an accident.
Food and water are also abundant, and according to the current situation, these 200,000 people will not starve to death even if they are trapped in the city for two months. It seems that this is a very reassuring situation, but Bai Qi's heart is not at ease, he can't be trapped in the city for two months.
But what made him even more uneasy was that he couldn't figure out why Zhang Liang and the others didn't come to destroy the granary and the canal? Can't do it? No way! Although Roaming had already arranged heavy guards outside the granary of Lingcheng, they might be able to stop the others, but they definitely couldn't stop Liu Bang, who had the power of space.
Too late? It can't be either! Since Liu Bang had time to blow up the arsenal where the Demon Dao Staff was stored, he naturally had time to destroy the granary and canal first. Destroying food and water is a much heavier blow to them than blowing up the Demon Staff, and it's devastating!
Ignored? It's even more unlikely! Extremely wise as Zhang Liang, how could he ignore this crucial point that led to their death? Not to mention him, even Liu Bang and Xiang Yu could think of how terrifying the blow of the grain cut was to an army!
"Since they can't do it, it's not too late, and it's impossible to ignore itβwhy didn't they blow up the weapons depot and destroy the granaries and canals at the same time?" Bai Qi fell into a deep question of confusion in his heart.
"Why? Why? Why should we cut off all our ways out and leave us alive at the same time? In the rhetorical question, it was full of Bai Qi's confusion that struggled and did not understand. Don't they want to kill us? Bai Qi suddenly had such an idea, but at the same time, he himself laughed at the ridiculousness of this idea in his heart.
But then in a trance, Bai Qi's sneer stopped silently, and his consciousness froze on the sudden thought just now-"Could it be...... They don't want to kill us at all......"
- "No! When Zhang Liang spit out these two words, the expressions of the people present were obviously stunned, obviously they didn't expect Zhang Liang to say a negative thing, especially Mulan. In Xiang Yu Liu Bang's view, this strategy is fast, unexpected, and has a high chance of winning, which is a good strategy worth trying.
In Mulan's opinion, she really wants to share some of the weight on her shoulders for Zhang Liang at this critical moment, and she is very confident in her strength, all of this is not bad. But Zhang Liang denied it. "Nope." Zhang Liang stared at the doubts in everyone's eyes and said again.
"Why did the ovary say that...... In our opinion, the feasibility rate of this strategy to rescue Miyue is very high. Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang and asked. When he spoke, he actually had some guesses in his heart, I am afraid that Zhang Liang was worried about Mulan's personal safety before he said no. However, Liu Bang only asked Zhang Liang euphemistically, but Mulan on the side opened up at this time.
"Liangliang, don't worry about me, I have a sense of proportion!" Hua Mulan stared into Zhang Liang's eyes and said firmly. "I'm not just worried about you-" Zhang Liangning frowned, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "You have ignored one person-Ying Zheng!" β
When the words fell, a cold light flashed in everyone's eyes. "All along, you have been blinded by Yingzheng's scheming and ruthlessness, leading you to subconsciously think that he is just a master of power and is good at taking advantage of other people's powers, and you have never faced his strength, right?"
was asked by Zhang Liang, whether it was Xiang Yu or Liu Bang, they were all stunned, and even Mulan's gaze was a little frozen.
"Have any of you ever thought that maybe Yingzheng is very strong, do any of you have an exact grasp of Yingzheng's strength?" Zhang Liang asked in a deep voice, "Have any of you ever thought about it-since Ying Zheng has the ability to ban Mi Yue, who is proficient in the demon path, how much strength do we have to use to rescue Mi Yue under his obstruction?" β
"What do you have for the ovary?" Liu Bang pondered and asked.
"That's right, Ovary, you say, since you have analyzed the problem so clearly, it's up to you to make a decision." Xiang Yu also said in a deep voice. Hua Mulan also stared at Zhang Liang silently.
"Strong army raid!" Zhang Liang looked at the confused eyes of everyone and said these four words in a firm voice.
"It's definitely not enough to send only one person to sneak into Xianyang Palace to save people, we must choose a more stable path - send troops to attack Xianyang directly!"
When Zhang Liang's words fell, Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, and Hua Mulan were all shocked in their eyes - directly attacking Xianyang Palace City, this is too crazy. "My idea is like this-the strongest beast army led by the King of Chu bypassed the sealed mausoleum city from the tunnel, and then marched on the shortcut road, day and night, and will definitely be able to reach Xianyang Palace City within ten days! At the same time that the King of Chu's troops attacked the Xianyang Palace, Lan Lan then used the Return to the Source Order to travel to the Origin Spiritual Land and enter the core area of the Xianyang Palace, so that the siege war of the King of Chu could fully attract the attention of the entire imperial city, create more time and opportunities for Lan Lan, and even divert Yingzheng's attention. β
"In this way, our plan to rescue Miyue has enough chance of winning!"
"So, do you want me to lead the army to feint and attack Xianyang Palace City to help Mulan's rescue operation?" Xiang Yu said in a deep voice.
"Nope! Not a feint! Zhang Liang stared at Xiang Yu's gaze and said, "I want King Chu to really attack Xianyang Palace, break through the imperial city, and break the throne!" β
"This in itself was the core of my previous plan, but now it is combined with the plan to rescue Miyue."
While using the city as bait, the city itself is also a cage. The long night, the scheming, the 100-meter light wall, the predicament of the lockdown. Since you can't fight a bloody battle with your compatriots in a country, then trap them in the city, and since you want to avoid the frontal battlefield, then directly attack the imperial city.
But who would have expected that it was the secret passage under the city that gave Zhang Liang the confidence to use this whole earth-shattering plan, and it was precisely because of that secret passage that Zhang Liang dared to take the step of locking down the city.
The underneath secret passage that was set up by Xiang Yu many years ago will play a huge role at this moment, and the two exits of the dark passage are outside the front and rear gates of the mausoleum city respectively. When Bai Qi and the others were trapped in the Tomb City, Xiang Yu and the others could bypass the Tomb City through the secret passage, split all the unnecessary enemies, and go directly to attack the Imperial City and settle accounts with Yingzheng!
This was Zhang Liang's plan, from the very beginning, he planned to avoid all enemies and go straight to Xianyang.
Regarding Zhang Liang's plan to attack Xianyang Palace, Liu Bang had some knowledge and expectations before, after all, after trapping Bai Qi and those armies, no one could stop them.
Xiang Yu's eyes lit up with fire, although he was not surprised by this plan, but when Zhang Liang personally said the sentence of attacking Xianyang Palace, he still couldn't hold back the angry flames in his chest.
It's been so long, he's endured it for so long, from the moment he learned the truth of the three years of the country and the true face of Yingzheng, Xiang Yu couldn't help but hold the three-foot Tyrannosaurus Blade to cut Yingzheng's dog head and sacrifice to the sky, but reason and responsibility made him calm down and endure it, until now - Bai Qi and the enemies were trapped in Lingcheng, and there was no obstacle to the way forward, he could finally attack Xianyang and go to Yingzheng to fight!
"Good! In this way, I immediately led the Hundred Beast Legion to attack and rushed to Xianyang with Mulan. Xiang Yu didn't say a word, and agreed with Zhang Liang's strategy.
"I'm fine." Hua Mulan looked at Zhang Liang and said, "However, what should Bian Que do, his life is a huge hidden danger, Lingcheng may be triggered by him at any time, and there is a restless ancient land." β
"I've already planned this." Zhang Liang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Now that we have avoided the frontal battlefield, we only need a strong army to attack the empty Xianyang Palace City immediately, and we don't need more troops......"
"Therefore, I think that the 100,000 troops transferred from the border city by the King of Chu and the King of Han, plus the tens of thousands of troops who defected from the enemy here, can be sorted out and organized, and then immediately sent back to the border city to consolidate the defense of the border city and delay time for our war in the inner country."
"Then do you think it's better to let this army lead back to the border city?" Xiang Yu suddenly asked, he actually wanted to ask, did he need to send a person with strong strength back to the border city as well, just in case.
"King Han, let King Han lead this army back to the border city." Zhang Liang said and moved his gaze to Liu Bang, "King Han's departure can not only avoid unnecessary accidents along the way, but also allow him to better plan the defense force of the border city and control the crisis of the ancient wilderness." β
"I'm fine. It's just that we all have a ...... Then who will kill Bian Que to prevent the forbidden art from happening? Liu Bang subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist and looked at Zhang Liang.
"Me." Zhang Liang looked away and gently spit out the word. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang's eyes flashed, but they didn't say anything, after so many things, they believed Zhang Liang, "You are alone?" But there was a hint of concern in Mulan's eyes, "Hmm." Zhang Liang's firm gaze fell on the ancient book of words and spirits in his hand, and said softly.
"I'm going to deal with Bian Que alone." ββOutside the city of Xianyang Palace, deep in the dense forest, by the turbulent stream. The leaves of the trees were whispering with the wind, the river rocks were flowing with the water, and the mysterious man in a sackcloth cloak was silent on the withered branches, silent.
Han Shin endured the fatigue and pain, propped up his body wrapped in medicinal cloth from the ground, and struggled to straighten his spine. He bent his neck and exhaled two heavy breaths, then slowly turned around and limped to the edge of the stream, reaching for his armor and clothes that had been washed clean by the stream.
He put his wringed clothes and armor on the rocks on the shore and waited for the sun to dry. During the whole process, Han Xin didn't say a word, and the mysterious man who sat alone on a branch and was silent didn't say a word. After a long time, the mysterious man slowly spoke: "What do you want to do?" β
"Go back." Han Xin said firmly and succinctly. "Where are you going?" The mystery man continued.
"Xianyang Palace." Han Xin's gaze didn't flicker at all, and his consciousness was resolute, "Go back and save Zhaojun." The mysterious man heard Han Xin's resoluteness, but after a long silence, he still persuaded him: "Do you think you can save her?" β
"If you can't save it, you have to save it!" Han Xin said, and without hesitation, he went to put on the clothes and armor that were dried.
"Huh......" The mysterious man let out a long breath helplessly, and then said: "Xianyang Palace is heavily guarded, and there are thousands of guards, can you escape the blockade and blockade?" There are many strong people in the palace, Arthur, Bai Qi, and Yingzheng are here, can you beat them? Breaking into the Longtan Tiger's Den for the sake of his beloved, the first time can be said to be brave, but the second time is stupid......"
The mysterious man bluntly told the truth, and Han Xin's eyes couldn't help but tremble, and the movement of dressing in his hands stopped. Han Xin stared at the heavy ground beneath his feet, pain echoing in his eyes.
"She cried......" Time seemed to have passed for a long time, Han Xin choked at the sadness hanging in his eyes, and said almost silently: "That was the first time I saw her ......crying" ""At that time, my detached soul was suspended on the white bone sickle, and I could bury myself on the ground with a single move, and I could do nothing but float in the void, but I had a sense, I heard her crying, I saw her tears-" "But I can't do anything! Yingzheng! White up! They used my death to force Zhaojun to compromise! But I couldn't do anything but watch Zhaojun fall to the ground and beg them to spare my life......" "Don't you cherish this life that was saved with the frost princess's cold tears?" The mysterious man asked in a deep voice.
"But I'd rather die! I'd rather die than be bullied by them like this! Han Xin turned his head sharply and said loudly to the mysterious man. I don't want to know what kind of treasure the Ice Tears are, or why they want to get Zhaojun's Ice Tears - I just know that they can't let Zhaojun cry! No one! Han Xin stared at his two blood-repellent pupils, and his crazy roar startled the flocks of birds in the forest.
The mysterious man sighed silently and never spoke again. "I'm going back now, and I'm going to rescue Zhaojun no matter what......" Han Xin sighed and said, "Even if I die with them, I'll rescue Zhaojun." β
