Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1092 The last section of the city wall

The enemy troops were all approaching, and Liu Can was no longer in the mood to play a push-and-play game with a group of his subordinates. He quickly calmed down, demarcated ownership, and began to prepare for the battle.

He sat in the main tent and summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.

"The enemy came very quickly and there was no trace beforehand. It is very likely that the county seat of Taiyuan County opposite has been captured by the enemy. If so, it is better to retreat first. We will retreat into Zhongyang City and rely on the good location of the strong city. Confront the enemy!"

"My subordinates have a plan. The enemy sent troops from Youzhou. Although they fought successively, the battle line was long, the logistics must be heavy, and the city was newly acquired. If the troops were not divided into guards, they could only be appeased with words. People who are eloquent and eloquent, take advantage of the night to go to the other side, enter the cities of Taiyuan, understand the righteousness, and repeat the words, the Xuanjia army will be chaotic, if they fight, they will be defeated, if they don't fight, they will be weak!"

"This plan is brilliant. When the time comes, we will march out in full force to chase Xuan Jia and attack it. We will definitely win!"

……

Many staff and generals gave suggestions one by one. Liu Can sounded like that, but after thinking about it carefully, he had a problem.

"It has been less than a month since Youzhou sent out troops. Even if there is damage to several counties, the morale must be like a rainbow. It may not be much consumption. The logistics may not be a problem. Besides, there is no problem with the logistics. Come on, we still don’t know what is going on in Taiyuan, but if we send someone there and the plan is revealed, wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

When he said this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Liu Can added: "Everyone has read many battle reports. The Xuanjia Army is obviously good at attacking the city. If we enter the city, we may suffer a loss. Moreover, the enemy has not yet crossed the river. Maybe we can take advantage of it." one time."

Another person said: "Then we should fight the Xuanjia Army in the wild, or wait until they cross the river and attack them halfway across the river?"

Liu Can thought about it for a while and said: "Everyone's plan has its merits. It's better to use them all if you don't want to leave alone."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. Each of these strategies has its own emphasis. In addition to the hidden dangers Liu Can just mentioned, if they are all used, how can they be used?
I heard Liu Can say: "We will retreat first and pretend to enter the city. If the enemy comes to pursue us, we will attack them halfway across the river. We can first detach an army to ambush. If the enemy does not move, we will enter the city. This time The army that comes out can be used as a surprise attack when the Youzhou Xuanjia attacks the city!"

"Wonderful!"

Many people praised, but some people frowned, thinking that such a division of troops might be defeated individually, but before he could say anything, Liu Can continued: "As for contacting the counties in Taiyuan County, it is also feasible, but In order to prevent being caught in the trap, one city can send two teams, one team will contact first, and the rest will observe the situation, and if there is any change, they will retreat and report!"

Everyone nodded, feeling that this move could be done. Although it increased the risk of exposure, the contact was inherently risky.

Now that the discussion was over and the enemy was in front, Liu Can immediately issued an order to the whole army without delay.

As a result, the troops who had returned from the long journey from the south began to retreat. But as soon as he moved, a loud noise suddenly came from the Xuanjia army on the opposite side. Fireballs flew straight over and exploded when they landed on the ground. Countless tiny pieces of iron spattered, causing many people to scream and fall to the ground, unable to fight.

At the same time, many black armor soldiers and horses emerged from the trees on both sides. They ran and shouted at the same time——

"The army is defeated and retreats. The general is dead! You abandon your sword and surrender without killing!"

At this time, the doubts that had arisen due to the retreat exploded among the Huns. Coupled with the long journey, they had long accumulated dissatisfaction and fatigue. Under the threat of ambushes on both sides, they finally exploded, giving birth to fleeing soldiers. .

As soon as the soldiers fled, the military formation was in chaos. Those who were advancing, retreating, and fleeing were in a mess, trampling on each other, causing many casualties. With the artillery bombardment, most of the entire Huns army collapsed!In the middle army, Liu Can looked at the scene in front of him, dumbfounded. He couldn't understand at all what the flying thing was, and why it looked like a firecracker, but it could cross a body of water. The distance is far beyond the range of a single cannon.

What he couldn't understand even more was how the enemy troops crossed the Fen River silently and lurked in the jungles on both sides.
But these are no longer important. The army has been defeated like a mountain, and the organizational structure and military formations have ceased to exist. Even if Sun Wu is reborn, if the orders cannot be conveyed and implemented, it will be unable to save the day.

In the end, Liu Can had no choice but to retreat to Zhongyang County in a panic with two thousand remnants under the protection of his own soldiers.

But here they entered the city. Not even a quarter of an hour later, Ran Zhan led the siege troops to the city. He was not nagging, nor did he imitate Chen Wu who sent people to persuade him to surrender. When he saw the city wall, the general With a wave of the knife, the order was given.

"Boom!"

Amidst the thundering sound, fireballs pierced the sky and landed on the city wall of Zhongyang County. The violent vibrations spread from the city wall to the city, making the soldiers and civilians in the city tremble with fear. Liu Can, who had just retreated into it, looked pale. .

He suddenly showed a ferocious look on his face: "You forced me to do this!"

Suddenly, the Hun prince got up and wanted to go to the rear, but several staff members walked over and asked: "Prince, where are you going? There is still a fierce battle here, and the prince needs to be in charge to cheer people up. Don't leave without authorization!" "

Liu Can gritted his teeth and said, "Youzhou soldiers have gone too far. This time, there are soldiers on the other side of the attack, and the ambush on both sides is no less than ours. It can be seen that a large army is attacking. What do you think they want?"

Each of the staff members thought for a moment, and their expressions changed.

Then Liu Can sneered and said: "The powerful Xuanjia army across our northern Huns territory only has tens of thousands of troops. Now for a lone army, why do we send so many people? Without him, because the dragon body of the Emperor of the Central Plains is still there. In the hands of King Gu, since this is the case, Nagu will destroy it so that they know the price of angering Gu!"

"Prince, you must not do it! You must not do it!"

The expressions of several staff members changed drastically and they all stopped him.

"Get out of the way!" Liu Can was furious, "Could it be that you are worried that the dragon body of the Emperor of the Central Plains will be damaged, unable to explain to Youzhou, unable to use it to advance, and want to betray Yu Gu?"

"Prince, I misunderstood. We really don't have this intention, but because the dragon body of the Emperor of the Central Plains is of great importance. If it is kept, there will be room for improvement, and it may be able to protect the Xiongnu country's vitality. If it is broken, don't worry. Even if we fight with Youzhou until death, even other forces in the world will not tolerate the prince. Now that the country is in ruins, the prince still has to put the overall situation first!"

After saying this, the staff actually hugged Liu Can and burst into tears.

This cry finally dispelled the anger in Liu Can's heart, leaving his mind blank and speechless.

At this moment, with a rumbling sound, a section of the city wall in the northeast collapsed.
