Chapter 283: Flooding Pengcheng
.。
The Han King's army of nearly 700,000 has surrounded Pengcheng!
Liu Bang himself didn't expect it to be so smooth, almost bloodless to make the King of Han and King Yin surrender, so that the last two wavering princes of the Central Plains of China joined the camp against Xiang Yu, and now it is not the Eight Kings Alliance but the Ten Kings Alliance!
Attacking Chu State from South Korea, he did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and now he is in Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's base camp!
Liu Bang felt that even God was helping him, otherwise how could it be so smooth?
But having said that, Liu Bang still didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, he summoned the most important advisers around him to discuss how Pengcheng should fight, when the news of Pengcheng being besieged reached Xiang Yu's ears, Xiang Yu would definitely come back to rescue quickly, so the attack on Pengcheng must be fast, otherwise it may be too late.
The army of King Han has been stationed for three days, and several attempts have been carried out in the first two days, and it was found that although Xiang Yu is no longer in Pengcheng, Pengcheng still has a strong defense, after all, this is Xiang Yu's base camp, so the people of Pengcheng, the army and the people, are all on Xiang Yu's side.
Zhang Liang brought the latest information: "The Pengcheng guard is Xiang Yu's confidant, one of the five famous generals of the Chu army, and Yu Zi. ”
Liu Bang frowned when he heard this: "It turned out to be Xiang Yu's henchmen, no wonder Peng Cheng is so difficult to fight!"
"In fact, with our military strength, it is certain to capture Pengcheng!" Chen Ping stood up and spoke at this time, "The question now is how to break through Pengcheng as quickly as possible." ”
King Han nodded, his gaze fell on Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, "What do you two think?"
Zhang Liang and Chen Ping glanced at each other, and saw the answer in each other's eyes.
Zhang Liang said calmly: "Let's talk about it first, Brother Chen!"
Han King Liu Bang's eyes suddenly lit up, is there really any way to quickly break through Pengcheng?
"It's actually very simple!" Chen Ping walked to the topographic map in the center of the tent, he pointed to a big river passing through Pengcheng, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "I think that the Yellow River is available!"
How to use the Yellow River?
Liu Bang, the king of Han, didn't react.
He looked at Zhang Liang with an inquiring gaze.
"The king of Han ordered 50,000 people to go to the mouth of the forty-mile gorge in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, used sandbags and earth and stones to block the mouth of the Yellow River gorge, and then arranged for 20,000 people to collect a large amount of hay to release a large amount of wolf smoke at the downwind mouth of Pengcheng, and sent General Peng to lead his troops to be stationed in the southwest corner of Pengcheng 30 miles to standby, and sent Yongwang Zhang Han to lead his troops to respond in the southeast corner of Pengcheng. Zhang Liang paused here when he said this, "Peng Cheng can fight down!"
Zhang Liangdu said it in such detail.
Didn't Liu Bang understand it? He didn't say much, and immediately mobilized!
............
Early the next morning.
When the people of Pengcheng woke up, most of the city was full of choking smoke.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Yu Ji saw the miasma of the city in the palace, "Is this a good thing done by the Han army!"
"This smoke is not naturally generated, it must be produced by the Han army in the downwind, a large amount of special wood and forage, and then blown into Pengcheng by the wind, so this result will be caused. "Yu Ziqi can roughly tell the direction," these thick smoke are blowing from the west, so if I am not mistaken, the Han army will launch a fierce attack from the west gate. ”
"These rats! If the king is here, how dare they be so arrogant!" Yu Ji's beautiful face was full of anger, she picked up a sword and followed Yu Ziqi, "I want to go into battle with my eldest brother to kill the enemy!"
Yu Ziqi elegant and handsome showed a wry smile on his face: "My good sister, if you have a bruise, the king will definitely not spare me, so you still stay in the palace, if you are by my side, I will be distracted to protect you, how can I concentrate on fighting?"
"Hmph!" Yu Ji pulled out her sword, and a sword light skimmed the ground, instantly causing a long sword mark, "On the battlefield, who will protect whom, maybe it's not clear!"
Yu Ziqi was suddenly speechless.
In fact, in terms of fighting alone, the sum of the three Yu Zi periods is not as good as Yu Ji alone!
Yu Ji's own martial arts talent is not weak, and there is also the first martial saint in Huaxia to give her guidance, now Yu Ji's martial arts cultivation should be close to the ninth level, even if she looks at Huaxia, she is also a first-class master, such a person really does not need protection. He also knew what kind of character his sister was, and now that the situation was urgent, there was no time to waste.
The Yuzi period is not in the ink.
It's not impossible to let Yu Ji go to war.
There are several conditions for Yu Zi to be in the period: Yu Ji must dress up as a man, wear personal guard armor, and wear a helmet at the same time, so as not to be recognized on the battlefield and become a key target. In addition, on the battlefield, you must not act on your own, and you must follow your side at all times.
Yu Ji agreed to these requests.
The two siblings quickly rushed to the western city wall and began to set up defenses.
These pungent smoke blew from west to east, so the area where the west city wall is located was the most affected, and the archers of the city tower were smoked for a whole hour, although it would not cause any fatal damage, but it was inevitable that tears and coughs were very uncomfortable, and under the cover of smoke, it was conducive to cooperating with the Han army to launch an attack.
Yu Ziqi concentrated most of the defenders to defend against the attack from the Han army at any time.
Although the number of Han troops is very large, Pengcheng is one of the largest cities in China, especially after Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, set the capital here, the population of Pengcheng has exceeded one million, even if the strong men are recruited temporarily, they can also temporarily recruit 180,000, plus Xiang Yu left a part of the troops in Pengcheng, it should be enough to hold the city.
The Han army had Peng Yue, Zhang Han, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo, who were extremely powerful generals.
As long as the Yuzi period is supported for five days and eight days, the king will definitely send troops to support, and the cooperation inside and outside the city will definitely be able to defeat this coalition army with a weak structure in one fell swoop!
Yuzi can be affected by the overlord in such a way, and naturally he is not a vegetarian.
Among the five Chu generals, Yu Zi often plays the role of a civil official, and his record is far inferior to Long Ji and Yingbu, and even Zhong Liwei and Ji Bu's record is far higher than that of Yu Zi, but this does not mean that Yu Zi is weak, in fact, the art of war and military skills of Yu Zi are among the five, at least they can be ranked in the middle!
"Shadow Mirror!
Yu Zi launched his military technique, only to see that near the city tower, huge ancient mirrors suddenly appeared.
The bronze mirrors summoned by these military arts, each of which has a height of more than a zhang, and in each mirror, there is a powerful demon shadow, and soon something jaw-dropping happened, the demon shadow actually came out of these mirrors, and hundreds of vague and transparent figures appeared in front of the army in an instant.
The shadow monsters are all feet tall.
They are humanoid, with bladed hands, able to fly on walls, very fast, coming and going like the wind, unstoppable.
The shadow soldiers exchanged for military skills in the Yuzi period have their strength around sixfold, and they have no weaknesses, and they can't be killed at all, that is to say, unless the military skills of the Yuzi period can be interrupted, the demon soldiers formed by these shadows will be immortal and immortal on the battlefield, and there is no known way to really kill them.
This is the military art of the Yuzi period.
The number of hundreds of shadow soldiers may not seem too much, but the actual fight is different, they are all harvesters on the battlefield, they can easily annihilate tens of thousands of troops, and now in such a situation of defending the city, they can play a greater role.
Yu Ziqi wanted to see how this Han king would capture Pengcheng from his hands!
However, just when the Yuzi period was completed to prepare for the battle, something completely unexpected happened!
There was a loud rumbling noise from the front, and if you listened closely, it seemed that it was not an explosion, but the sound of a flood coming!
Yu Ziqi seemed to think of something, his face changed drastically, and when the vision looked through the smoke, the bad illusion in Yu Ziqi's heart seemed to come true. I saw a huge wave of water sweeping towards Pengcheng.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Yu Ziqi hurriedly ordered the soldiers defending the city to retreat, it was obviously too late to do so!
Because the flood is getting closer and closer to Pengcheng, there is a huge wave of dozens of meters in front of it, and there is a young Taoist who is as rich as jade, this person is either someone else Zhang Liang, and at this moment, Zhang Liang is standing at the top of the wave, and he is constantly chanting some kind of incantation.
How strong is the strength of the Half Trail Saint?
Chen Ping had fought against Fan Zeng before, so he was clear about the strength of the Half Saint.
Zhang Liang is a person who can break through to the Holy Realm at any time, and at this moment, Zhang Liang's state is not much different from the Holy Realm. Let Liu Bang block the Yellow River first, make a human-shaped embankment, and after the water accumulates for a day, it will be released in one go.
This will inevitably lead to a flood.
Zhang Liang forcibly controlled the river with the power of the Heavenly Dao, so that instead of dissipating in the process, they were becoming more and more turbulent and powerful in the process, and the target was none other than Chu Du Pengcheng!
Chu Bing faced a huge wave that was taller than Linzi, everyone was dumbfounded, but at this time, the big wave was already unavoidable and unavoidable, with thousands of horses galloping, thundering momentum, instantly swept the city tower of Pengcheng, monstrous water directly poured into the city, and the water volume became higher and higher, almost the entire city was soaked in water.
The Han army used the strategy of flooding Pengcheng!
The water of the Yellow River continued to pour into Pengcheng, and the city soon became a mess, and everything was floating in the water!
At this time, a huge army appeared in view, which was the army led by Peng Yue, the general of the coalition army.
Liu Bang, the king of Han, saw the tragic situation of Pengcheng from afar, and his heart was naturally overjoyed, he really didn't expect that the effect of flooding Pengcheng would be so good, so that the garrison of the Chu army would be easily disintegrated, and this time was the best time to attack.
Peng Yue led the main force to attack Pengcheng directly.
On the other side, Zhang Han had already led the troops to start attacking the city.
The preparations of the Yu Zi period have been completely disrupted, and it seems that there is no suspense in this battle, and the King of Han will definitely take advantage of this battle to drag Xiang Yu's base camp in his hands in one fell swoop.
