Chapter 180: Waiting for the Rabbit

In the early morning of the same day, the 100,000-strong army of the Jin army arrived in Liaodong.

100,000 people is a lot, but Liaodong is the most prosperous and central city in this area, 100,000 people and the huge Liaodong City, it still seems insignificant, but Ling Wuya is menacing, the momentum is like a grandeur, send orders to his subordinates, set up a siege around the city, and surround Liaodong City with a company camp.

Seeing this, Zhang He and his subordinate generals, who had already climbed the city tower, were about to explode people's lungs, and only 100,000 people were actually encamped in Liaodong City, which was too contemptuous of people, was the other party so sure that their soldiers did not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and they could not break through each one?

Although Zhang He's face was expressionless, he also felt disappreciative in his heart, thinking that Ling Wuya was too big, and only used 100,000 people to besiege the city, which was not firmly encircled on either side, and he could easily break the camp by attacking any point of the Jin army's company camp.

But after thinking about it, he secretly shook his head again, Ling Wuya was Lin Haotian's confidant and favorite general, since the latter was willing to hand over the military power to him, how could he not know that using 100,000 people to besiege the city was asking for his own hardship? There was only one possibility, Ling Wuya did it on purpose, that is, to provoke himself and lead him out of the city to fight!

"Hehe!" Zhang He shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, turned his head sideways and said to the soldiers under his command: "Without my order, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight the Jin army, and those who violate the order without authorization, regardless of whether they win or lose, will be punished by military law and severely punished!"

When the generals who were eager to try heard this, they were all discouraged, and they went out of the city to fight, and if they lost, they would naturally be punished, but if they won, they would be punished, so who would want to fight such a battle?

As soon as Zhang He's words fell, he heard the drums in the Jin army camp, and then the gate was opened, and a team of people and horses were killed from inside, led by a general of the army. Armed with a scimitar and carrying a hard bow, he is mighty.

Na Jin General led two thousand cavalry, rushed directly to the city of Liaodong, raised his eyes to look at the people on the city, and shouted: "I am Jin General Shao Lin." Who would dare to go out of the city and fight me?"

It turned out that this person was Shao Lin! Liu Hao was captured alive by this person, and Wang Zheng died at his hands, so it can also be seen that the other party's strength is quite remarkable.

Zhang He knew very well that the generals under his command were half a catty and eight taels, and letting them go out to meet Shao Lin was tantamount to letting them go to death, he turned his head sideways and said: "Strictly guard the city, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight!"

"Yes, sir!"

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, only seeing Shao Lin's majestic appearance, none of the generals in Liaodong City dared to go out to meet the enemy.

Shouted twice. Seeing that the city was silent, and there was no one to reply, Shao Lin was even more proud, riding a high-headed horse, and wandering back and forth in front of the city.

The two thousand cavalry who came with him were not idle, helping Shao Lin to fight against the enemy and scolding the array, and what was ugly and scolding, he just wanted to stir up the wooden army in the city.

But no matter how much they shouted or scolded. The wooden army in the city was unmoved, and the city gates were still tightly closed. After scolding all morning, the throat of the Jin soldier was about to smoke, and he didn't scold a single wooden soldier.

At this time, the sound of golden chimes sounded in the rear, and Shao Lin reluctantly led two thousand cavalry back to the main formation, waiting for lunch. It was Shao Lin who led the people out again and continued to call for battle in front of Liaodong City, just like in the morning, the wooden army in Liaodong City was still closed and did not fight.

At this time, the Jin army had finished setting up the camp. Zhang He led his subordinates along the city wall to inspect the company camp where the Jin army was stationed. While looking, Zhang Hebian nodded secretly, the huge company camp of the Jin army was completed in only half a day, but it was extremely solid, it can be seen that the wall is also very strong, on the surface, it is impossible to see where there are flaws, and it is impossible to distinguish the virtual and the real, making it difficult to judge where the main force of the Jin army is in the company camp.

When Zhang He went around to the south of the city, he suddenly found that there was another camp behind the Jin army's company camp, but the distance was too far, Zhang He could only look at the outline, and the specific details were not clear.

This is really strange! Behind the company camp, there is another big camp, what is Ling Wuya's intention? If it is to deal with his own side, then this camp should also be placed in front of the company camp!

Even Zhang He couldn't figure out what Ling Wuya was going to do, and the generals below were even more clueless, and some people muttered suspiciously: "Behind the Jin Army, there are tens of thousands of elite Jin Army led by Lin Haotian himself, is Ling Wuya trying to please his master and help Lin Haotian set up camp first?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded again and again, feeling that what he said was also reasonable, but Zhang He felt funny, Ling Wuya used 100,000 people to surround the city, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is a shortage of manpower, and the camp behind the company camp is not small, but if the tens of thousands of troops led by Lin Haotian are stationed, no matter how you look at it, you feel that it is too narrow.

I couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Ling Wuya's gourd, Zhang He simply didn't think about it anymore, anyway, as long as he strictly guarded the city and didn't fight behind closed doors, even if Ling Wuya had more ghost tricks, he didn't have to be afraid of him.

Since the Jin army arrived in Liaodong City, it did not take a strong attack, but only sent Shao Lin or Gu Liangyun out of the camp to fight, while the Mu army made up its mind not to go out of the city to face the battle, and the two sides were at peace, and the whole day passed like this.

The next day, the Jin army didn't even fight, and the army stayed in the company camp, so it was in a stalemate with the wooden army in Liaodong City.

The two sides will be drained, which will naturally be beneficial to the Mu army, after all, the reinforcements of the Mu country are already on the way here, and if it takes one more day, the reinforcements will march a little more, and the defenders in the city will have more confidence.

Two days of time passed in a flash, the Jin army came to the menacing city around the city, as soon as it arrived in Liaodong, it put out the siege of the city and attacked Jiashi, but the Jin army was thunderous, raindrops, besieged the city for two days, did not send a soldier and a general to attack Liaodong.

The Jin army did not attack, Zhang He did not dare to be careless, closed the city gate, and strictly forbade his troops to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and at the same time he also saw that the enemy army was counting on Liu Hao, a chess piece, and wanted to wait for Liu Hao to help them open the city gate, so that the Jin army could sneak into the city smoothly.

Two days later, late at night, when the sky was almost ugly, Liu Hao came to the south city with more than 20 cronies according to Zhang He's arrangement, at this time, there was not even a guard at the south city gate, Liu Hao saw this, and then opened the city gate a gap, he drilled out sideways, stood in front of the city gate, took out the fire twist, lit the torch, and then shook it again and again at the opposite Jin army camp.

He opened the south city gate, but only the outer city gate was opened, and the inner city gate was still locked, and at this time, the walls of the inner and outer cities were lying on the wooden soldiers and wooden generals, and nothing came out from the bottom up, but if you look down from the top, you will find that the two city walls have basically been covered with wooden troops, not to mention that there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 people.

Liaodong has the inner city and the outer city, the interval between the middle is less than ten zhang, and this circular space is empty, there is not even a little obstacle, once the Jin army really enters it, facing the arrow array on the two city walls, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Liu Hao held a torch in his hand and shook it for a while, and the southern camp of the Jin army finally moved, and the gate was quickly opened, and then countless Jin infantry came out of the camp. Perhaps afraid that the armor would make too much noise in the run, most of these Jin infantry were lightly armed, only wearing the military uniform of the Jin Army, not wearing armor, but they all had helmets on their heads.

After the infantry left the main camp, they were followed by all the cavalry, and the armor of the cavalry was very complete, but the horses' hooves were still wrapped in thick cotton cloth, so that the horses would not make too much noise when they advanced.

Liu Hao saw it clearly, just looking at the number of people pouring out of the other party, he knew that this was the vanguard of the Jin army, he didn't dare to delay in the same place for a long time, and retreated sharply into the city while getting out of the way.

Without wearing armor, the speed of the Jin army was indeed very fast, and they all used their strength to run forward, and tens of thousands of troops rushed to the south gate of Liaodong like a tide, but no matter how well prepared they were, so many people ran wildly together, and they would make a sound.

Listening to the rumbling dense and messy footsteps outside the city, the wooden army hidden in the city could feel the large number of people attacking the Jin army even if they didn't look at it, and people's nerves began to be highly tense, and cold sweat was dripping on the faces of many soldiers.

The wooden generals were also nervous, but they were still calm on the surface, and waved to the soldiers under their command, telling them not to act rashly, and to wait for the Jin army to enter the city before making a move.

There is no doubt that the Jin army of it successfully rushed to the gate of Liaodong City, and the people did not even pause for a moment, as if they were returning to their own homes, they passed directly through the city gate, and crowded into the city. (To be continued......)
