102. Fiction is reality
Tian Huaian is a relatively capable general in the Korean army.
Although he is a descendant of the former Zheng nobles, he does not have the feeling of emptiness that some nobles have.
Wang Rong had dealt with him before, and thought that although this person did not have any whimsical tactics, he marched and fought in a decent manner, and completely according to what was said in the military book.
He never walked through the mountains and rivers, the low-lying land overgrown with reeds, and the lush wooded mountain forest areas, which could be ambushed, preferring to take a detour.
A large number of sentinels were also sent to search for places where ambushes might exist.
If it weren't for the South Korean army's combat effectiveness and willingness to fight, he would probably be a famous general.
Wang Rong had previously led the Zhao army to engage him and did not gain the upper hand.
Such an enemy is very tricky.
And if the Zhao army wants to attack the wild king, this army, which no longer has its own fixed station, must be the first to go to support as reinforcements.
Such an army, if it enters the city and relies on fortifications for a dull defensive war, is very difficult to deal with.
But in the field, not necessarily.
At this time, on the Yewang City, Han Hua and Han Lu appeared in the city, and they were in a happy mood.
Yewang was an important border city in Korea before, but it was conquered by Bai Qi two years ago, and after being regained, he is now fully armed.
There were also quite a few soldiers inside. Before, Feng Ting said that he didn't know anything about the plans of Qin and Zhao to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, but after the Qin army gave up the wild king, the Han army secretly also stationed nearly 100,000 horses here in the wild king.
If they have the opportunity, they will also continue to fish in troubled waters to grab some benefits.
Otherwise, there would not be such a large arsenal in Jingcheng, all in order to replenish the ordnance in time if there is a chance to enter.
It's a pity that although the Qin State was defeated, its vitality was not injured, and those soldiers who surrendered could still work after they returned.
And Zhao Jun actually pounced directly on the wild king, and had already taken Jingcheng.
Therefore, Hanhua's biggest plan at present is to stick to it.
If the wild king loses it, then this plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf will become a joke.
"Reported, there's another group of messengers under the city."
"Whose person is it this time?" Han Hwa asked.
"Report, they say he is General Tian Huai'an's troops." The messenger looked like he was about to say something.
Again. Han Hua was furious, but he reacted again, it was impossible for Zhao Ren to keep pretending to be Tian Huai'an, and there must be something strange about this matter.
He looked at the woods like Han Li, and found that after a long time, there were still no birds flying out of the woods, and his heart was a little calmer.
He turned around and asked, "Han Xuan, you see that there are no birds flying out of the woods, this time the messenger should be real." ”
Han Lu was holding a book of war at this time, and when he heard Han Hua's question, he stood up and still looked at the woods.
He listened attentively, frowned, and then spoke: "The art of war is cloudy, the woods are dense, and the birds are sounding. There is no birdsong today, and there will be an ambush. ”
Here, there are birds flying out and there are ambushes, and if there are no birds flying out, how can there be ambushes.
Hanwha is surprised.
Han Yan rushed to the top of the city gate and shouted: "You Zhao people, you are so cunning, and you want to pretend to be our army to cheat the city!" ”
He was also a little unsure of his intentions, and wanted to say something to test it.
Unexpectedly, the messenger under the city gate immediately changed their faces, and directly took the bow and led the string, and fired arrows towards the city gate, and wanted to ride their horses to see if there were any flaws in the city defense.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows quickly." Han Li was pulled by the people around him again, so he was not shot into a hornet's nest.
In an instant, on the Wild King City, ten thousand arrows were fired again.
After the Zhao army immediately turned around and ran out of the range of the city's ballista, they turned over and dismounted, and continued to insult Yewang City, and some even took off their pants and released water towards Yewang City.
"Is that reasonable, is there anyone who follows me out of the city and rushes to kill for a while." Hanhua was born in the Hanhua clan and was pampered, where can he bear such humiliation, he will be killed immediately.
"Big brother, don't be impulsive, there must be ambushes outside." Han Jian grabbed Han Hua, pointed to the woods and continued:
"I saw the Art of War a few days ago that it says that soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. The last time Zhao Jun's ambush soldiers should have just arrived, so they alarmed the birds in the woods.
The last time we were deceived was unsuccessful, and the ambush soldiers must have never left, so the birds did not dare to fly in. So no birds flew out of the forest this time."
Han Hua was suspicious when he heard the letter, but judging from the reaction of the second batch of messengers, it was indeed Zhao Jun who was impersonating.
"Big brother, it's better to send a team of people to go to that forest to check and find out." Han Lu saw that Han Hua was a little unconvinced, and immediately suggested.
An hour later, a group of Korean soldiers, fully armored and holding shields, cautiously approached the forest.
Before they could reach the edge of the woods, dozens of arrows were fired from the woods.
Immediately, a large cloud of smoke and dust rolled up in the woods, as if countless armies were running and mobilizing inside.
Sure enough, there are ambushes!
The casualties of that South Korean army were actually not large, after all, they were well-armoured.
But immediately like a frightened bird, he scattered as a bird or beast.
Abandoned armor and weapons in a place.
After a while, Zhao Jun in a white robe ran out and picked up the spoils.
Cheng Zhao in the forest patted the buttocks of the war horse, untied the stake tied to the back of the horse, and suddenly saw that the tail hair of the war horse was moist and soft, and a smile appeared on his mouth.
"Han Lu is really talented, you and I are in the wild king. The wild king must be worry-free. Come, hang Han Li's flag next to my flag. Let Zhao Jun know that it is impossible for them to deceive our army again. "Hanhua is overjoyed, Yewang has a lot of troops here, and the ordnance to defend the city is also sufficient.
Even if there are no reinforcements, it is not so easy to capture.
The two of them took several lieutenants to inspect the city defense, only to feel that their city must be impregnable.
Two days later, outside the Yewang City, smoke and dust were billowing out, and at a glance, a large group of people came.
"Han Xuan, why do you look from afar, it's a large group of people again, under the banner of our Han army." Han Hua put up a canopy and looked at it from a distance, looking surprised.
Whether it is a friendly army that comes this time, or does it mean that Zhao Ren is unrepentant when he dies, there is no new trick, that is, he wants to pretend to be the Han army and break the wild king, there is no novelty at all.
Han Lian also stood on the city wall and watched carefully.
He couldn't help but recall what Zhao Kuo said to him on the day Jingcheng was destroyed, saying that he and most of the Korean generals would only have fun and would not read the military books, so Zhao Kuo would easily attack the city.
Hmph, during this time, I and my eldest brother Hanhua fought together at night and studied military books, how could they be deceived so casually.
Thinking of this, Han Lian paid full attention and watched carefully.
But I saw that the group of about 50,000 Korean troops marched quite neatly and not fast, but there were scouts and horses wandering all the time.
When it was far away from the woods, the South Korean army had a team of men and horses that left their team and headed for the woods.
It's like I'm going to find out if there's an ambush.
After a long time, the team of men and horses rushed out, unscathed, and the army looked neat. Apparently there was no attack.
"Hahaha." Seeing this, Han Mian looked up to the sky and laughed, overjoyed.
"Why is Han Li laughing?"
"I laughed at Zhao Kuo's self-defeating and snake painting. Big brother, look at it, the troops that entered the woods were unscathed, the flags were neat, and it was obvious that nothing had been found. But the other day, our men went to investigate, but they were attacked. If he hadn't sent this team to investigate, I wouldn't have dared to confirm whether these Han soldiers were pretending to be Zhao Jun. ”
This reason is a bit far-fetched. Could it be that Zhao Kuo saw the huge strength of our reinforcements and withdrew? And Han Lian, you are in Jingcheng, did you really lose so much armor to Zhao Jun? Hanhwa asked.
Han Yan lowered his head, his face was slightly red, but then, he said: "Don't dare to deceive the eldest brother, the lost armor of Jingcheng can equip fifty or sixty thousand horses." At that time, the king also wanted to take advantage of the new defeat of the Qin State and the Zhao Wei to fight each other and find an opportunity to get back the Shangdang. ”
"It doesn't matter, my South Korea is rich in iron ore, and Yiyang Iron Mountain has a very high daily output, and those armors can be made in an instant." Han Hua patted Han Lian's shoulder and comforted.
"What the eldest brother just said is not unreasonable. But Zhao Kuo is cunning and can't be guarded against. The South Korean army did this, clearly to tell me to wait, there are no ambushes in the woods, let me wait for peace of mind, and then let them enter the city. Big brother, let me ask you, whether the army of Yewang City is sufficient, and whether the weapons, food and grass are enough. ”
"There are nearly 100,000 elite soldiers in Yewang City, and the grain and ordnance can last for a year. It can be said that nearly half of South Korea's military strength is ours. ”
"Is there any reinforcement or not, will it help us and others to guard the wild king?"
"It's not a big help, rely on the current defenders, hold the wild king, foolproof." Hanhua said confidently.
"That's it." Han Lu happily continued: "Regardless of whether it is the real Han army or the Zhao army fake, we will let them be stationed outside and not enter the city." If they were pretended to be Zhao Jun and stationed outside, they would definitely not be at ease at night.
I studied Zhao Kuo's battle example, this person attacked the city, never liked to use the lives of soldiers to take, always liked to attack the heart, or surprise attack, or deceive the city. From the Changping camp, to the Gaoping Pass, to the Duwei City, there are no exceptions.
If these Korean troops outside were disguised by the Zhao army, then they might pretend to be attacked by the Zhao army at night tonight, and then ask to take refuge in our Yewang City, waiting for the opportunity to capture Yewang City.
We watched for a few days, and if there was no movement, it was not too late to let them into the city. ”
Han Lian said categorically, and Han Hua listened and nodded constantly.
I have seen through Zhao Jun who pretended to be Han Jun many times, which made Han Jun proud, didn't you Zhao Kuo say that I don't have enough understanding, I only read the military book for a few days and put it into practice.
